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

The base is stable, and its distinctive features are the elegant curves extending from it and the flower-like opening, making its sophisticated design impressive.

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

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

This product is a thin and delicate blown glass vase made by glassblowers in Lauscha, Thuringia, where the glass industry flourished, between the 1960s and 1970s. The streamlined, futuristic form hints at the Space Age design popular at the time.

Although it cannot be definitively determined due to the lack of a hallmark, based on the style, it is possibly the work of 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 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 associated with Professor Karl Staudinger, a painter and graphic artist, in Sonneberg. In 1937, he first participated 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 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 very experimental glass artist. He applied and developed assembly techniques ("skull technique") into refined 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 in Dresden and art exhibitions in East Germany from 1958 to 1978.
