This is a beautiful flower vase made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, with a translucent blue hue.

It is a distinctive crane-neck vase featuring a round pedestal at the base and a rounded spherical body extending upwards. Its sophisticated design is striking.

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

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

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase created 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.

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

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artisan with an international reputation.

He came from a family with 200 years of glass manufacturing tradition. 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 collaborated with 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 a quality seal for arts and crafts. In 1952, he passed his master's examination and was recognized by the examination board of the master glassblowers and 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 for health reasons.

Schaedel was a very experimental glass artist. He refined and developed assembly techniques ("skull technique") into art, 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 both nationally and internationally. Among others, he participated in five German art exhibitions and East German art exhibitions held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
