This is a beautiful candle holder made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, featuring yellow glass with a refreshing pattern.

Its elegant curves and unique, sophisticated design are striking.

Lauscha is a small glass town in the Thuringian Forest in eastern Germany, where people have 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 existing in each area.

This product is a thin, delicate blown glass vase created by glassblowers 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 that was popular at the time.

Also, although it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of an engraving, the style suggests that it may have been created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or made in his workshop.

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 glass making. His father was a lampwork bead artist. He worked as a glass bead artist 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 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 his master's examination and was recognized by the examination board for master glassblowers 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 (the "skull technique") for 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 East German art exhibitions held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
