LIGHT GLASS-65 NR-KR-370 Lauscha VINTAGE FLOWERVASE

(cm)

Material: Glass

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

This beautiful flower vase is made from pale yellow-green Lauscha blown glass, featuring a balanced silhouette with a round, bulging body that tapers into a narrow neck, and then gently flares outwards at the rim.

It is also a unique objet d'art, with a delicate and unparalleled appearance, possessing both fragility and strength.

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

In East Germany, industry had its own system, with state-owned enterprises called VEB established in various regions, and different industries existed in each region.

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase made by a glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region known for its flourishing 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 identified due to the lack of a mark, based on the style, it may have been created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or 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 glass bead maker. 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 examining board for master glassblowers and the Association of Visual Artists.

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