This is a beautiful flower vase made of Lauscha Glass from East Germany, with a vivid deep blue hue.

The base spreads out for stability, and it features smooth curves and an elegant form characteristic of a crane-neck vase, making its sophisticated design impressive.

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

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

This product is a thin, delicate glass vase made by a blown glass craftsman in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region known for its thriving glass industry, between 1960 and the 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form reveals the space-age design that was popular at the time.

Also, although it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of a hallmark, based on the 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 artist of international renown.

He came 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 an apprenticeship in 1924, and became a craftsman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927. From 1934, Schaedel worked as an independent artistic glassblower. From 1934 to 1938, he collaborated 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 his 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 refined and developed assembly techniques ("skull technique") into sophisticated art, such as 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 others, he participated in five German Art Exhibitions and art exhibitions in East Germany held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
