This is a beautiful flower vase made of vibrant blue glass by Lauscha Glass in East Germany.

Its elegant, wine-glass-like shape is distinctive, and its sophisticated design is impressive.　

Lauscha is a small glass town nestled in the Thuringian Forest in eastern Germany, where people have been making glass for over 400 years.

East Germany also had its own industrial system, with state-owned enterprises called VEB (Volkseigener Betrieb) established in various regions, each with different industries.

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase made by a glassblower 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 popular Space Age design of the time.

　Also, although it cannot be definitively identified due to the lack of markings, based on its style, it is possibly the work of the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel, or produced in his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artist of international renown.

He came from a family with a 200-year tradition of glassmaking. 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 craftsman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927. From 1934, Schaedel worked as an independent artistic glassblower. From 1934 to 1938, he was associated with Professor Karl Staudinger, a painter and graphic artist in Sonneberg. In 1937, he participated in the arts and crafts fair in Leipzig for the first time.

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 craftsman's examination and was recognized by the examination board for master glassblowers 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 developed and refined the assembly technique ("skull technique") in his art, such as in the design of vessels blown in front of the lamp. He was one of the most productive and influential glass artists of his time.

He 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 in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
