Designed in 1972 by Oswald Kleudgen, the 'Amsterdam' relief decor, so named for its resemblance to stacks of tulip bulbs, is also commonly known as the 'Onion' decor, and is one of the most popular ever produced by Scheurich Keramik.  It was available in a number of sizes and colorways, as well as color combinations, including this orangy-red and brown version that highlights the pattern perfectly.

OSWALD KLEUDGEN was a classmate and close friend of Heinz Siery, the prolific form designer who would ultimately exert huge influence over the style of West German ceramics through his work at several of the best companies of that time.  Kleudgen was a top-notch painter and decorator who had collaborated with Siery at Fohr Keramik, and then later at Scheurich when they both went to work there in 1955.  Kleudgen would stay at Scheurich even when Heinz left in 1959 to go to work for Carstens.  He became the single most important designer of glazes and decors at Scheurich and worked for them until his retirement.

SCHEURICH had its origins in a joint venture launched in 1928 by Alois Scheurich and his cousin Fridolin Greulich in the small town of Schneeberg near the Czech border in Saxony—wholesaling glass, porcelain, and ceramics.  The business was moved to the market community of Kleinheubach in the northeast corner of Bavaria in 1938, and ten years later the partners began producing household ceramics of their own, selling them under the name Scheurich & Greulich.  In 1954 Alois founded SCHEURICH to continue the production on his own.

The celebrated designer Heinz Siery was recruited the following year.  He developed production techniques for SCHEURICH as well as designs.  The overarching manufacturing strategy was to produce a wide array of simple forms that could be decorated in a great variety of glazes.  This resulted in a range of pieces that was both extensive and economically adaptable.  The approach proved altogether successful; through the 1980s SCHEURICH produced more pottery than any other German manufacturer.  Much of it was for export.

The earliest SCHEURICH pieces sport discrete colors and simple geometric patterns.  In the late 1960s and the '70s, its glazes were characterized by brown-and-green color schemes, sometimes accented with more vibrant hues—however, some décors featured the bold lava and volcanic finishes that are so admired today.  Molded décors inspired by ancient cultures or patterns from nature were also represented.  By the late 1980s, shapes and color scales became plainer and the work less attractive.

Finally, a sturdy oversized ball my boy can't destroy! And can pick up easily
This is just wonderful! My dog has destroyed all other balls! I think this is finally one he cannot destroy. And I love the holes so he can pick it up and throw it himself. LOL. And it BOUNCES, bringing him endless joy and skill in catching it. Cause you don't know which way it will bounce off the ground. Oversize was just right for him. Glad to have found this great sturdy ball.

Almost perfect...upraised logo should be left off
This toy is great for relentless chewers with strong jaws! It would be almost perfect if it didn't have a "K9" logo in raised rubber on it. That is the place that my aggressive chewer shepherd/bulldog mix focuses on and is able to get small chunks off. Without that logo, he would chew the ball more evenly, instead of fixating on that one spot. He loves this ball and has chewed on it for about an hour off & on each of the 11 days he has had it. Although it is very durable so far, the flaw is the upraised logo.

Perfect for High-Drive Dogs & Surprisingly Durable (six month review)
I use this ring ball for structured fetch and tug sessions with my high-drive German Shepherd mix (91 lbs. at 10 mon.), and it’s easily the best toy we’ve added to our routine. What makes it truly exceptional is how it allows my dog to engage in the full canine predatory sequence: • Chase: He locks in visually and bolts after the ring when I throw it. • Grab & Hold: He brings it back, pins it against my leg, and bites down firmly (the toy—not the leg!)—his way of acting out the natural catch-and-control behavior. • Unalive & Tug: We finish with a strong tug session, which satisfies his instinct to grip and shake—basically his version of “making the toy unalive.” • Settle & Chew: Afterward, he relaxes with a chew toy or eats—completing the full physical and mental cycle in a healthy, balanced way. Durability is outstanding—this toy stands up to intense tug sessions with no tearing or damage, even with a 91 lb powerhouse. My senior dog also joins in for double tug play, and it holds up beautifully to that too. I don’t leave this toy down for chewing—it’s not a chew toy. I use it specifically for fetch and tug, then put it away when we’re done. This keeps it exciting and extends its lifespan. My dog has other chew toys he can use freely throughout the day. This isn’t just another fetch toy—when thoughtful it provides a structured, instinct-satisfying experience that’s mentally enriching and physically engaging. If you have a high-drive or working breed, or a dog who thrives on interactive play, this ring ball is 100% worth it.
