About Eva Zeisel
Eva Striker Zeisel was a Hungarian-born American industrial designer known for her ceramics, primarily from the period after she immigrated to the United States. Her forms are often abstractions of the natural world and human relationships. Zeisel was a self-declared "maker of useful things" and her work is held in many museum collections. She and her students created designs for the Bay Ridge Specialty Company including Stratoware (a rare, short-lived line made for Sears), designed by student Frances Blod, under Zeisel'ls supervision. The resulting exhibition, "New Shapes in Modern China Designed by Eva Zeisel," ran from April 17 to June 9, 1946, and was the first one-woman exhibition at MoMA.
