This is a beautiful flower vase made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, featuring vibrant yellow glass.

Its mouth, reminiscent of flower petals, gives it an elegant and charming slender-necked vase shape, with a striking sophisticated design.　　　　　　　　　

Lauscha is a small glass town in the Thuringian Forest in eastern Germany, where people have lived and made a living from glassmaking for over 400 years.

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

This product is a thin and delicate glass vase made by a glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region known for its thriving glass industry, between 1960 and the 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form hints at the Space Age design popular at the time.

Although it cannot be definitively confirmed due to the lack of a stamp, based on its style, there is a possibility that it was made by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel, or 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 glass manufacturing. 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 art glassblower. From 1934 to 1938, he accompanied 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 glassblowing master and the examination board of the Visual Artists Association. 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 due to health reasons.

Schaedel was a highly 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.

He participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Among others, he participated in the five German Art Exhibitions and the East German Art Exhibitions held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
