Eva Zeisel

Eva Zeisel, a Hungarian-born ceramicist who survived imprisonment in the Soviet Union, designed Museum dinnerware for Castleton China in 1946 and the playful Town and Country range for Red Wing Potteries, with curving, hand-friendly shapes that nestle together. Her salt and pepper shakers lean towards each other like a pair. She kept designing into her nineties, and many of her shapes are still produced.
