A vintage collection manufactured in the 1960s-1970s by Lauscha Glass in East Germany.

This is a beautiful flower vase and candle stand made from Lauscha blown glass. It is a candle stand made of deep ruby red glass, featuring an impressive elegant silhouette with a slender, elongated stem and a gently swelling center.

It is unique as an objet d'art, with a delicate and one-of-a-kind appearance that possesses both fleetingness and strength.

*Lauscha is a small glass town in the Thuringian Forest in eastern Germany, where people have lived by glassmaking for over 400 years.

In East Germany, industry also had its own 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 glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, where the glass industry was thriving, from the 1960s to the 1970s. The streamlined, futuristic form offers a glimpse of the Space Age design popular at the time.

Also, although it cannot be definitively identified due to the lack of a mark, based on the style, it is possibly the work of the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel, or created in his workshop.

*Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel is an innovative Thuringian glass artist of 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 Edmond Müller in Neuhaus from 1927.

In 1952, he passed his master's examination and was recognized by the glassblowing master and the examination board of the visual artists' association.

Schaedel was a highly experimental glass artist. He 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.
