Cristal d’Arques is known for its beautiful pure  Crystal glass ornaments & luxury products, creating desirability through its numerous collections.

In 1947, the brothers Rogier and Laurent Vandeweghe created the Perignem artistic ceramics workshops in Beernem, "per ignem" or "by fire" in Latin.  
They were trained in the workshop of Alphonse Baert in Sint-Lucas in Ghent, with Joost Maréchal as teacher.

Rogier Vandeweghe left Perignem in 1955 to set up a new studio, "Amphora", with his wife Myranna Pyck (who had worked at Perignem as a ceramic painter) in Sint-Andries, a suburb of Bruges, to produce ceramics and stained glass.  Ceramic production was entirely hand-made.

Alois Scheurich and his cousin Fridolin Greulich started in 1928 a wholesale company in glass, porcelain and ceramics in Schneeberg. They moved the business to Kleinheubach in 1938. 10 years later they started their own production of household ceramics, under the name "Scheurich & Greulich." 
During the 60s, 70s and 80s, Scheurich was the company that produced most ceramics of all companies. Much of the production was exported. In the 90s production of art ceramics ceased, but Scheurich continued to produce flower pots.
