This is a beautiful flower vase made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, with a refreshing pattern on yellow glass.

Its elegant curves and sophisticated design are striking.

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

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

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase crafted by a glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region with a thriving glass industry, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form hints at the space-age design that was popular at the time.

Although it cannot be definitively stated due to the absence of a mark, based on its style, it is possibly the work of the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or made 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 journeyman 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 for the first time in the Leipzig Arts and Crafts Fair.

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 highly experimental glass artist. He refined and developed assembly techniques ("skull technique") for artistic application, such as 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 at home and abroad. Among others, he participated in five German art exhibitions and art exhibitions in East Germany held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
