This large sculptural plaque features a dramatic abstract figural composition rendered in saturated cobalt blues, fiery reds, and glowing amber tones. The elongated stylized forms create a strong vertical presence, making the piece read more like modern wall art than traditional ceramics.

Marked “Ruscha handgemalt” (German for hand-painted) and numbered Model 768, this plaque exemplifies the bold artistic experimentation that defined West German mid-century ceramics. Ruscha pieces are highly sought after by collectors of mid-century modern design, West German pottery, and modernist wall décor.

With its architectural scale and vivid glazing, this plaque works beautifully as a statement piece in modern interiors, gallery walls, or curated design spaces. See less
