Ronald van Ruyckevelt was born in 1928. He began his career
at Wimbledon School of Art where he was awarded the National Diploma in
painting. He then went on to study ceramics at The Royal College of Art,
culminating in an Associateship. After one year of industrial practice, he was
awarded the full Royal College Diploma Des. R.C.A. Ronald joined the staff of
Royal Worcester in August 1953 and the following year won the British Pottery
Manufacturers Federation Traveling Scholarship. During the 1960’s, Ronald
designed some of the most technically adventurous models Worcester has ever
produced – a Limited Edition series of Big Game Fish, a series of large Game
Birds and a number of hand-made Tropical flowers. His final work for Royal
Worcester in the 1970’s was the series of six ‘Queens Regnant’. Works modeler,
Ken Potts, completed this series. Ronald van Ruyckevelt left Royal Worcester in
1974 to work from Malvern. He later moved to America where he now runs his own
ceramic company. During his career with Royal Worcester, Ronald produced over
65 models. Unfortunately, some were never put into full production.
