A nine decades long design career, 16 months spent in a Stalinist prison & most of it in isolation, the first woman artist to have a one woman show at MoMA, and a new line of light fixtures being released later this year.

Eva Zeisel brought pottery into the 20th century as an industrial design, beyond craftsmanship. She designed gorgeous tableware & furniture among many items. This NYT obit is amazing, as she was. She was 105.
