This stylish and beautiful flower vase is made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, featuring a blue glass adorned with black and white patterns.

It is characterized by elegant curves reminiscent of a wine glass, and its refined design is striking.

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

In East Germany, industries had their own unique system, with state-owned enterprises called VEB (Volkseigener Betrieb, or "People's Own Enterprise") established in various regions, each specializing in different industries.

This product is a thin, delicate blown 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 era.

While it cannot be definitively confirmed due to the lack of a hallmark, based on its style, it is possibly the work of the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or from his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artist of international renown.

He came from a family with 200 years of glass-making tradition. His father was a bead maker. He worked as a glass bead maker in his father's workshop, began his apprenticeship in 1924, and became a craftsman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927. From 1934, Schaedel worked as an independent art glass blower. From 1934 to 1938, he collaborated with Professor Karl Staudinger, a painter and graphic artist, in Sonneberg. In 1937, he first participated in the Leipzig Arts and Crafts Fair.

From 1940 to 1945, Schaedel was in the military. 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 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 applied assembly techniques ("skull technique") to sophisticated art, such as the design of vessels blown in front of a lamp. He was one of the most prolific 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.
