Made by Lauscha Glass in East Germany, this beautiful flower vase features a pale yellow glass with a gradient effect and frosted glass patterns on its body, which sparkle and reflect light.

Its elegant curves are distinctive, and its refined design is impressive.

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

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

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

Although it cannot be definitively confirmed due to the absence of a mark, the style suggests that it may have been created by the renowned glass artist Albin Schaedel or produced in his workshop.

Albin Schaedel

Albin Schaedel

Schaedel was an innovative Thuringian glass artist with international renown.

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 craftsman under Edmund Müller in Neuhaus from 1927. From 1934, Schaedel worked as an independent artistic glass blower. From 1934 to 1938, he attended 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 for health reasons.

Schaedel was a highly experimental glass artist. He developed and refined assembly techniques (the "skull technique") for artistic application, such as designing vessels blown in front of the lamp. He was one of the most prolific 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.
