Identity and overview
Before leaving for Russia, on November 13, 1873, he married Laura Ida Amalia Holmann, in the small town Hermsdorf. He began his career as an enameler at the crystal factory of Count Vasily Alexandrovich Olsufiev (1831-1883) in the village of Maryinsky, Roslavlsky Uyezd, Smolensk Governorate, where he presumably worked until the end of the 1870s. In 1886, he established his own workshop at 29 Vorontsovskaya Street in Moscow. In 1887, Ruckert began working with Russian jeweller and Fabergé egg maker, Carl Fabergé. His mark Ф.Р. (F.R. in Russian Cyrillic) can be found on cloisonné enamel objects made in Moscow, which he sold both independently, as well as under Fabergé.
