LIGHT GLASS-66 NR-KR-371 Lauscha VINTAGE FLOWERVASE

(cm)

Material: Glass

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

This beautiful flower vase is made from Lauscha blown glass, characterized by its cup-shaped form with a wavy, ruffled rim in clear glass.　　

Unique as an art object, its delicate appearance is unparalleled, possessing both ephemerality 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 also had their own systems, with state-owned enterprises called VEB established in various regions, and each region had different industries.

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase made by a glassblower 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 popular at the time.

Although it cannot be definitively confirmed due to the lack of an engraving, based on its style, it is possible that this piece was created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or at his workshop.

＊Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artisan with international renown.

He came from a family with 200 years of glassmaking tradition; his father was a lampwork bead maker. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, starting his 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 examining board of master glassblowers and the Visual Artists Association.

Schaedel was a highly experimental glass artist. He refined and developed assembly techniques ("skull technique") into sophisticated art, such as designing vessels blown in front of a lamp. He was one of the most productive and influential glass artists of his time.
