LIGHT GLASS-83 NR-KR-388 Lauscha VINTAGE FLOWERVASE

(cm)

Material: Glass

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

This beautiful flower vase is crafted from vibrant blown glass from Lauscha, featuring a lovely balloon-like shape and pattern, and is characterized by its sophisticated design.

It is also a unique objet d'art, with a delicate and unparalleled appearance that embodies both ephemerality and strength.

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

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

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase made by a glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region with a thriving glass industry, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form offers a glimpse into the popular Space Age design of the time.

Although it cannot be definitively confirmed due to the absence of an engraving, the style suggests that it may have been created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or in his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel is an innovative Thuringian glass artist with international renown.

He comes from a family with a 200-year tradition of glassmaking; his father was a lampwork artist. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, began his apprenticeship in 1924, and became a craftsman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927.

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

Schaedel was a highly experimental glass artist. He developed and refined assembly techniques ("skull technique") for artistic purposes, 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.
