This little book on Eva Zeisel was most informative. She is truly an amazing woman who has had an extraordinary, difficult, and life-threatening experiences. Her art and intelligence allowed her to mingle with other extraordinary individuals which led to a very interesting and fascinating life. The authors have managed to give an exciting account of her life. It is a quick and engrossing read. After collecting Zeisel dishes for a time, I became even more curious about her and her art. The book has satisfied some of my curiosity but leaves me wanting even more information. Too bad more Zeisel items and patterns were not included in this book. It has only a cursory pictoral. I would have appreciated pictures of all the patterns she designed. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this book to any collector who wants to learn about an extremely interesting artist of our time. M. HowardRead full review
A beautiful little book about a wonderful woman, industrial designer, and designer of china, furniture, and other things, I'm sure. The last report I could find was that she is still living and designing at the age of 106! I have a large collection of her china in the Fantasy pattern by Hallcraft. I bought it years ago, and will pass it down to a granddaughter. It is as modern as any present day design, functional and spectacular in shape and design. This book will give you a taste of her talent, and any old collector (or new) will find it of great interest.
Basically an overview of Eva Zeisel's work, with (mostly) black and white photos. Plus gives a fascinating biography of her life (would make a great movie!) with her incredibly rise over adversity, including being jailed by Stalin. For a catalog of her work, another book would be needed. This book is only a little taste but worthwhile reading.
Bought this book for my daughter. She is a designer and is really impressed with Eva Zeisel, her personal history and her incredible design work. This is a great little gift book, full of photographs and very informative. Highly recommend, and for the price it is a great buy!
Loved the price and the product
