Rusha ceramics turns up a unique find in Switzerland
well it never ceases to amaze me of what turns up in the weirdest places.The picture above shows a Rusha vase decorated in the art nouveau style with a modern twist and surely unique.I have hunted through the sites and asked many whether they have seen such an example but to no avail.The store that i purchased this from was a shop selling old linen near the city centre of Zurich.
I have noted over the last 7 months that most of the Rusha that i have bought has been rather unusual very similar to the crazy designs by another factory that being Jasba. These two factories certainly did not make the mundane vases but rather odd shapes and designs and this makes it rather exciting for me as most articles on offer are very much the same...although stylish in their own design.
I have also noted that Rusha made a huge selection of jugs in all sizes mainly in a brown background with strongly formed handles.The shapes are rather plump ,like that of a friar,a fat belly and a smooth glaze, mostly in two tones of brown.
Chargers are large and with one or two owls with strong features all in muted browns.Theses are striking to look at and command a wall where they will be the major feature.One will also note that many of the Rusha creations still have their label attached..Rusha Art.
I would love to share a link with you on this subject but there is none at this moment in time, i do believe that in the near future a book will be published feauring all the German ceramic factories from the 1950/70`s.
Happy unting.
