Manufactured between the 1960s and 1970s

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

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase made by a blown glass craftsman in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region known for its thriving glass industry, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form offers a glimpse into the space-age design that was popular at the time.

　Also, although it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of a hallmark, its style suggests it may have been created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or at his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artist with international renown.

Albin Schaedel came from a family with 200 years of glass-making tradition. His father was a glass bead maker. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, beginning his apprenticeship in 1924, and becoming a journeyman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927. From 1934, Schaedel worked as an independent artistic glassblower. From 1934 to 1938, he attended 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 a quality seal for arts and crafts. In 1952, he passed the master's examination and was recognized by the examination board for 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 very experimental glass artist. He refined and developed assembly techniques ("skull technique") in 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.

Schaedel participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad. Among others, he participated in five German art exhibitions and art exhibitions of the GDR in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
