Eva Zeisel is experiencing a surprising surge in popularity. With her reissued dinnerware available in stores all over the country, and a recent tour of publicity appearances, prices for her work have begun to soar. Town & Country has always been popular with collectors, and now with her new exposure Ms. Zeisel has reached an even greater level of recognition and mass appeal. She deserves it! Her decades of work furthering the modernist aesthetic is probably the most influential of any designer in the genre.

Found on June 28, 2005 in Brooklyn Center, MN.
