This is a beautiful flower vase made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, with a stunning deep blue hue.

It's a crane-neck vase characterized by elegant curves and a sleek form, making for a sophisticated and striking design. 　　　　　　　　　

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

This product is a thin and delicate glass vase created by a blown glass craftsman in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region where the glass industry flourished, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form reveals glimpses of the Space Age design popular at the time.

Also, although it cannot be definitively identified due to the lack of an engraving, based on the style, there is a possibility that it was made by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or in his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

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

He came from a family with a 200-year tradition of glass making. 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 journeyman 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 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 a quality seal for arts and crafts. In 1952, he passed his master's examination and was recognized by the examination board of the 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 for health reasons.

Schaedel was a highly experimental glass artist. He developed and refined the assembly technique ("skull technique") in 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 both nationally and internationally. Among other things, he participated in five German Art Exhibitions and art exhibitions of East Germany held in Dresden from 1958 to 1978.
