Scheurich always uses white clay. The vases are signed 'W.GERMANY' or 'WEST GERMANY' followed by three numbers (indicating the model number), a dash and two numbers (indicating the height of the vase).

Scheurich was founded in 1928 by Alois Scheurich and his cousin Fridolin Greulich as a wholesaler of glass, porcelain and ceramics. In 1938 Scheurich settled in Kleinheubach (70 kilometers southeast of Frankfurt am Main). The manufacture of household ceramics began in 1948.

In 1954 Scheurich stopped wholesaling activities and focused entirely on manufacturing ceramics in-house. Initially they mainly made bowls and ashtrays, but they soon switched to vases and flower pots.

Scheurich's hegemony began in the late 1960s. Scheurich kept his prices low and, combined with popular designs, this resulted in a turnover of millions. Scheurich's strategy was to provide the same models with different decorations each time. The designs were adapted twice a year to the changing taste of the public.
