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

The soft, gentle curves and cool impression give it a simple yet elegant form, and its sophisticated design is striking.

Lauscha is a small glass town in the Thuringian Forest of 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, and different industries in each region.

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase made by a glassblower 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.

Also, although it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of a stamp, based on the style and other characteristics, 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 craftsman with international renown.

He came from a family with a 200-year tradition of glassmaking. His father was a lampwork artist. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, began his 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 accompanied by 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 the quality seal for arts and crafts. In 1952, he passed his master's examination and was recognized by the glassblowing masters and the examination committee of 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 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 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 at home and abroad. Among others, he participated in five German art exhibitions and East German art exhibitions in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
