LOGO

THE RAKO BRAND The statue in the RAKO logo depicts Ashurnasirpal II, Assyrian King and founder of the New Assyrian Empire. He ruled Assyria from 883 – 863 BC. The motif was adopted from the relief of a stone slab preserved in the British Museum in London. At this time, the ceramic bowl which the King holds in his hand was called ”rako”. The figure of the King was placed on an octagonal tile and the inscription RAKO was placed over his head. The ancient origin of the depiction and the advancement of culture during this time correspond with the long-standing tradition of the Rakovník-based ceramics plants and production of ceramic products.
