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

It is a crane-neck vase characterized by elegant curves and a smart form, with an impressive sophisticated design.

Lauscha is a small glass town nestled in the Thuringian Forest in eastern Germany, where people have lived for over 400 years, earning their livelihood from glassmaking.

East Germany had its own industrial 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 blown glass craftsman in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region where the glass industry flourished, 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, its style suggests that it may have been created 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 glassmaking. His father was a lampwork bead maker. 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 glass blower. From 1934 to 1938, he was associated with Professor Karl Staudinger, a painter and graphic artist, in Sonneberg. In 1937, he first participated 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 the master craftsman's examination and was recognized by the examination board of the master glass blowers 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 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 prolific 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 five German art exhibitions and art exhibitions in East Germany held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
