This is a beautiful flower vase made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, featuring a vivid blue color with varying shades.

It resembles a dessert glass, with an elegantly curved, wavy rim, creating a striking and sophisticated design.

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, industries had their own unique system, with state-owned enterprises called VEB (※) established in various regions, and different industries existing in each area.

This product is a thin and delicate blown-glass vase, created by master glassblowers in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region known for its thriving glass industry, during the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form offers a glimpse into the popular Space Age design of the era.

Additionally, although it cannot be definitively confirmed due to the absence of a hallmark, based on its style, there is a possibility that it was created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or in his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artist of international renown.

He came from a family with a 200-year tradition of glass manufacturing. 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 journeyman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927. From 1934, Schaedel worked as an independent art glassblower. From 1934 to 1938, he attended Professor Karl Staudinger, a painter and graphic artist, in Sonneberg. In 1937, he participated for the first time in the arts and crafts fair in Leipzig.

From 1940 to 1945, Schaedel was a soldier. In 1949, he was awarded the quality seal for arts and crafts. In 1952, he passed his master's examination and was recognized by the examination board of master glassblowers and the visual artists' association. In 1954, Schaedel moved his apartment and workshop to Arnstadt, "his second home." In 1980, he had to stop working in front of the glass flame for health reasons.

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

He participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions both at home and abroad. Among other things, he participated in five German art exhibitions and art exhibitions of the GDR in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
