Eva Zeisel  |
Designer Eva Zeisel was born in 1906, in Budapest. She entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts at age 17, intending to become a painter, but her mother prevailed upon her to learn some trade whereby she could earn a living, the world of fine art being chancy. So Eva apprenticed herself to a traditional potter and began learning her trade. The life of the apprentice was not always easy or pleasant, but Eva persisted and soon graduated to journeyman status. Just a year after that her work was displayed at the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial, where she won an honorable mention. Eva travelled the world, from Europe to Asia, working with porcelain, ceramics, pottery and glass to name a few. In 1938 she settled permanently in New York. In 1953, being highly recommended to Mr. T. Clarence Heisey, A. H. Heisey & Co., Newark, OH., as a design artist to add to his staff, Mr. Heisey appointed Eva as Art Director. He had hoped she would design something that would help put his glass firm on top again. His dream was not realized, the Zeisel creations did not “take,” except for the #1637A Town and Country items. Items in the #6009A Roundelay pattern seem to exist in very meager quantities. In 2004, at age 96 she continues to produce new works regularly. Her recent works include designs for Zsolnay Factory in Pecs and Kispester-Granit in Budapest, as well as the American firms of KleinReid, Nambe & Orange Chicken. The Museum of Modern Arts and the Metropolitan Museum both have issued new releases of some of her early designs, always supervised by Zeisel. |
