(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 glass crafted through Lauscha blown glass techniques. It features a refined design with a wide opening, resembling a wine glass.

Unique as an objet d'art, its delicate appearance is one-of-a-kind, possessing both ephemerality and strength.　　　　　

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

In East Germany, industries operated under a unique system with state-owned enterprises called VEB established in various regions, each specializing in different sectors.

This product is a thin and delicate glass vase crafted by a glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region known for its flourishing glass industry, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form hints at the Space Age design popular at the time.

Although it cannot be definitively confirmed due to the absence of a mark, based on its style and other characteristics, it is possibly a work by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or from his workshop.

*Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel is an innovative Thuringian glass artist with an international reputation.

Born into a family with a 200-year tradition of glassmaking, his father was a glass bead maker. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, starting his apprenticeship in 1924 and becoming a craftsman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927.

In 1952, he passed his master's examination and was recognized by the glassblowing master and the Visual Artists Association's examination board.

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