LIGHT GLASS-93 NR-KR-398 Lauscha VINTAGE FLOWER VASE

(cm)

Material: Glass

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

This is a beautiful flower vase made of vibrant yellow Lauscha blown glass, featuring a long, crane-necked design. Its sophisticated design is characterized by a form that flows from a rounded body to a slender, elongated neck.

It is unique as an object, and its delicate appearance is one-of-a-kind, possessing both fragility and strength.

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

In East Germany, industries had their own unique system, with state-owned enterprises called VEB established in various regions, and different industries in each area.

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase crafted by glassblowers 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.

Although it cannot be definitively confirmed due to the lack of a hallmark, based on the style, it is likely the work of the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or produced in his workshop.

*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 beadmaker. He worked as a glass beadmaker 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 examination board of master glassblowers and the Association of Visual Artists.

Schaedel was a very experimental glass artist. He developed and refined assembly techniques (the "skull technique") into 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.
