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

Its roundness, reminiscent of a wine glass, is distinctive, and its refined design is impressive.

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.

In East Germany, industry had its own unique system, with state-owned enterprises called VEB (Volkseigener Betrieb) established throughout the country, and different industries existed in each region.

This product is a thin and delicate glass vase made by a glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region where the glass industry was thriving, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form offers a glimpse into the Space Age design popular at the time.

Also, although it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of an engraving, based on the style, it is possibly the work of the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or made in his studio.

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 lampwork bead maker. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, started 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 was associated with Professor Carl 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 of glassblowing 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 for health reasons.

Schaedel was a highly experimental glass artist. He applied and developed assembly techniques ("skull technique") into refined 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 both at home and abroad. Among other things, he participated in five German art exhibitions and art exhibitions in East Germany held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
