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

It is a crane-neck vase characterized by elegant curves and a stylish form, and its sophisticated design is striking.

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

In East Germany, industries had their own unique system, with state-owned enterprises called VEB (Volkseigener Betrieb) established in various regions, leading to different industries in each area.

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase crafted by master glassblowers 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 popular at the time.

Furthermore, although it's impossible to confirm due to the lack of an engraving, the style suggests it may have been created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or at 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 glass 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 art glassblower. From 1934 to 1938, he attended Professor Karl Staudinger, a painter and graphic artist, in Sonneberg. In 1937, he participated in the arts and crafts fair in Leipzig for the first time.

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 for 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") 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 at home and abroad. Among other things, he participated in the five German art exhibitions and art exhibitions of East Germany held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
