This is a crane-neck vase made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, featuring a beautiful, slightly deep blue color.

Its elegant curves are 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 worked as glassmakers for over 400 years.

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

This product is a thin, 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 offers a glimpse of the Space Age design popular at the time.

Also, while it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of an engraving, based on the style, it is possibly a work by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel, or created in his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artist with international renown.

He came from a family with a 200-year tradition of glassmaking. His father was a bead maker. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, began an 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 collaborated 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 the master's examination and was recognized by the examination board of glass blowing 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 due to health reasons.

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