(cm)

Material: Glass

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

This beautiful flower vase is made of bright, deep yellow blown glass from Lauscha, and is a long-necked crane-necked vase. The form continues from a rounded body to a long, slender neck, and its sophisticated design is characteristic.

Unique as an objet d'art, 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 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 and delicate glass vase made by a glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, where the glass industry flourished, 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 stated due to the lack of an inscription, it is possible that it was made by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or in his studio, based on the style.

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel is an innovative Thuringian glass artist of international renown.

He comes from a family with a 200-year tradition of glassmaking; his father was a lampwork 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 examination board for master glassblowers and visual artist associations.

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