Scheurich always uses white clay. The vases are often 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 kilometres southeast of Frankfurt am Main). In 1948 they started producing household ceramics.

In 1954 Scheurich stopped the wholesale activities and focused entirely on producing ceramics himself. 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 appealing designs, this resulted in millions of dollars in sales. 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.
