This is a beautiful flower vase made of Lauscha Glass from East Germany, featuring vivid yellow-green colored glass.

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.

East Germany also had its own industrial 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 blown glass craftsman in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region with a thriving glass industry, between the 1960s and 1970s. In its streamlined, futuristic form, you can glimpse the space-age design that was popular at the time.

　Also, although it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of an engraving, it is possible that it was created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel, or in his workshop, based on the style.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artist with an international reputation.

He came from a family with 200 years of glassmaking tradition. 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 craftsman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927. From 1934, Schaedel worked as an independent art glassblower. From 1934 to 1938, he attended 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 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 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 five German art exhibitions and East German art exhibitions held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
