SASS EMPORIA are delighted to offer this large and impressive hand decorated art ceramic wall plate produced by Ruscha Keramik of West Germany. Ruscha were market leaders in offering an extensive array of decorative plates and wall hangings in a variety of shapes and sizes that were destined for both interior and exterior settings over many decades since the late 1950's.
Here we see a circular hanging plate from the 717 range, Ruscha's most prolifically produced ceramic plate form seen across a multitude of decor ranges from the 1950's-1980's. This example is called Sonnenblumen from the 1960's and is part of the Engobe Decor Series. Featuring a joyous arrangement of sunflowers where the motif has been skillfully scratched into the matte manganese brown base glaze and hand-painted with a palette of warm yellow, red and brown glazes, contrast with alluring cyan coloured foliage. The outer trim of the plate features an unglazed stripe that serves as an effective boarder characteristic of all Engobe pieces. This is a big, showy statement piece, much like sunflowers themselves, and a testament to the decorative flair that Ruscha have become renown for in their extensive offering of ceramic wall art!
