Some of these vases were occasionally mounted as lamps during this period, adding even more versatility and charm (see last photo).

The History of Scheurich Ceramic Factory, Germany Scheurich, one of the most iconic ceramic manufacturers in Germany, was founded in 1908 in the town of Höhr-Grenzhausen, a region historically renowned for its ceramic production. For over a century, the company has been known for producing high-quality and beautifully designed ceramic pieces, ranging from functional household items to decorative art objects. Early Years and Development (1908 - 1950s): Initially, Scheurich focused on traditional stoneware production. The company’s early designs were rooted in classic forms, and it gained a reputation for producing durable, practical ceramic products. However, in the 1950s, under the leadership of Hans Scheurich, the company began to evolve, shifting towards more decorative and artistic ceramic designs. This period marked the beginning of the company’s significant contribution to mid-century modern ceramics. The Rise of Mid-Century Modern Designs (1960s - 1970s): The 1960s and 1970s were pivotal decades for Scheurich. The company embraced the vibrant and bold aesthetic of the mid-century modern design movement, introducing an array of striking vases, lamps, and decorative pieces. Many of their designs featured abstract patterns, geometric shapes, and rich, vibrant glazes, which became highly sought after both in Germany and abroad. Scheurich vases from this period, often with intricate glazing techniques, became a symbol of the modernist ceramic art movement. The company produced pieces in a variety of forms, ranging from sculptural vases to functional items, contributing to the rising popularity of ceramic art during the mid-20th century. International Expansion and Recognition (1970s - 1980s): During the 1970s and 1980s, Scheurich gained international recognition, with its products being exported worldwide. The company’s collaboration with renowned designers and its innovative approach to ceramics allowed it to stand out in the competitive European ceramics market. Scheurich's designs became increasingly diverse, including collections that reflected global design trends, as well as regional motifs. Their ceramics were showcased in major design exhibitions, further cementing the company’s status as a leader in the field. Decline and Legacy (1990s - Present): As the ceramic market evolved and tastes shifted, Scheurich, like many traditional manufacturers, faced challenges in the 1990s. The rise of mass production and changes in consumer preferences led to a decline in demand for traditional ceramic designs. Despite these challenges, the company’s legacy endures through its iconic designs, which are still highly collectible today. Scheurich vases, particularly those from the 1960s and 1970s, remain sought-after by collectors of vintage ceramics and mid-century modern design. Although the factory itself has ceased production, the Scheurich brand is still synonymous with high-quality German ceramics, and its pieces continue to be celebrated for their craftsmanship, innovative designs, and vibrant glazes.
