Product description
Factory: Russel Tiglia, Tegelen N.V. Russel-Tiglia, operating from 1936 to 1966 in Tegelen, was a ceramics company resulting from the merger between N.V. Kleiwarenfabriek Alfred Russel and N.V. Tiglia Kleiwarenfabriek. The connection between the families through the marriage of George Goossens to a daughter of Alfred M. Russel led to this merger, with Goossens becoming technical director. In the same year of its founding, Goossens initiated a studio for art ceramics within the company, driven by his appreciation for the artisanal Tegel ceramic tradition. During World War II, the ornamental ceramics department experienced significant growth, in part because employees were transferred from the coarse ceramics section to avoid layoffs and compulsory labor in Germany. This strategy emphasized the economic importance of the ornamental pottery section within Russel-Tiglia, which at its peak in 1942 employed about 120 of its 196 workers. The rise of new building materials in the 1960s led to a decline in Russel-Tiglia's demand for ceramic products, eventually resulting in the merger into NV Tegula in 1966 and the reduction of its focus on ornamental pottery. In 1971, when NV Tegula decided to close the fine ceramics department, Thei van Rens and Jan Aarts continued the studio independently under the name Kunst Keramisch Centrum. Tegula's production finally ended in 1976, and although the factory buildings disappeared, some monuments such as the Canoy-Herfkens chimney and Villa Maria were preserved.
