Manufactured between the 1960s and 1970s

In East Germany, industry had its own system, with state-owned enterprises called VEB (※) established in various regions, each with different industries.

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase crafted by a blown glass artisan in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region known for its thriving glass industry, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form offers a glimpse into the space-age design that was popular at the time.

Furthermore, although it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of a stamp, based on the style, there is a possibility that it was created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel, or in his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artisan with international renown.

Albin Schaedel comes from a family with a 200-year tradition of glass making. His father was a lampwork artist. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, began his apprenticeship in 1924, and became a journeyman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927. From 1934, Schaedel worked as an independent art glass blower. From 1934 to 1938, he was accompanied by Professor Karl Staudinger, a painter and graphic artist, in Sonneberg. In 1937, he participated for the first time in the arts and crafts fair in Leipzig.

From 1940 to 1945, Schaedel was a soldier. In 1949, he was awarded the quality seal for arts and crafts. In 1952, he passed his master's examination and was recognized by the examination board for master glass blowers and the Association of Visual Artists. In 1954, Schaedel moved his apartment and workshop to Arnstadt, "his second home." In 1980, he had to stop working in front of the glass flame for health reasons.

Schaedel was a very experimental glass artist. He refined and developed assembly techniques ("skull technique") into sophisticated art, such as the design of vessels blown in front of a lamp. He was one of the most productive and influential glass artists of his time.

Schaedel participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions both at home and abroad. Among others, he participated in five German art exhibitions and East German art exhibitions held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
