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

It features a smart and stylish form, and its sophisticated design is striking.　　　　　　　　　

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

This product is a thin and delicate glass vase made by a glassblower in Lauscha, Thuringia, a region known for its thriving glass industry, between the 1960s and 1970s. Its streamlined, futuristic form offers a glimpse into the popular Space Age design of the time.

Also, while it cannot be definitively stated due to the lack of a stamp, given 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 with an international reputation.

He came from a family with a 200-year tradition of glassmaking. His father was a lampwork artist. 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 was a guest 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 the 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 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 highly experimental glass artist. He refined and developed assembly techniques (the "skull technique") into a 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 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.
