This is a beautiful flower vase made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, featuring a vibrant, deep blue color.

It is a crane-neck vase characterized by elegant curves and a patterned body, giving it a sophisticated and impressive design.　　　　　　　　　

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

East Germany had its own industrial system, with state-owned enterprises called VEB (※) established in various regions, each with different industries.

This product is a thin and delicate glass vase made by a blown glass artisan in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region where the glass industry flourished, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form hints at the space-age design popular at the time.

　Also, although it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of a stamp, given its style, it is possible that it was created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or made in his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artisan with an international reputation.

He came from a family with a 200-year tradition of glass manufacturing. His father was a lampwork bead maker. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, began an apprenticeship in 1924, and became a craftsman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927. From 1934, Schaedel worked as an independent art glassblower. From 1934 to 1938, he was associated with Professor Karl Staudinger, a painter and graphic artist, in Sonneberg. In 1937, he participated in the arts and crafts fair in Leipzig for the first time.

From 1940 to 1945, Schaedel was a soldier. In 1949, he was awarded the quality seal for arts and crafts. In 1952, he passed the master's examination and was recognized by the examination board for master glassblowers and the Association of Visual Artists. 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 due to health reasons.

Schaedel was a highly experimental glass artist. He applied and 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.

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