Born in Hungary to a Jewish family, Eva Zeisel’s life and career were marked by extraordinary resilience and artistic vision. Fleeing the rise of Nazism, she sought refuge in the Soviet Union, only to be unjustly imprisoned for 16 months—12 of those in solitary confinement—after being falsely accused of involvement in a plot to assassinate Stalin. Her harrowing experience is said to have inspired the novel Heart of Darkness. After a brief period working in Vienna, she ultimately found freedom and a new home in the United States.

There, Zeisel became one of the most influential industrial designers of the 20th century, producing ceramics, china, tableware, and glassware for leading American companies. She is perhaps best known for her iconic 1946 tableware line commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art—designs still in production and admired worldwide today. Remarkably, Eva Zeisel continued creating what she affectionately called “useful objects” until her passing in 2011 at the age of 105.
