This is a beautiful flower vase made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany.

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

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

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 offers a glimpse of the Space Age design popular at the time.

Furthermore, although it cannot be definitively stated due to the absence of a mark, based on the style, there is a possibility that it was made 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 glass manufacturing. His father was a lampwork artist. 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 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 examination board for glassblower masters 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 due to health reasons.

Schaedel was a highly experimental glass artist. He developed and refined assembly techniques ("skull technique") in his 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 other things, he participated in the five German art exhibitions and art exhibitions of East Germany in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
