This is a beautiful flower vase made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, with a slightly greenish-yellow hue.

It features a distinctive mouth and a rounded, elegant crane-neck shape with a petal pattern on the body.

Its sophisticated design is striking.

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

In East Germany, industry also 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 made by a glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region known for its thriving glass industry, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form hints at the Space Age design popular at the time.

Although it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of a hallmark, based on the style, it is possible 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 with an international reputation.

He came from a family with a 200-year tradition of glassmaking. His father was a lampwork bead maker. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, began an 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 was associated with Professor Carl 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 of glassblowing masters 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 applied and developed the assembly technique ("skull technique") into refined art, such as in 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 other things, he participated in the five German art exhibitions and the East German art exhibitions held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
