Eva Zeisel (November 13, 1906 – December 30, 2011) was a Hungarian-born American industrial designer known for her ceramics, primarily from the period after she immigrated to the United States. Her forms are often abstractions of the natural world and human relationships. Zeisel was a self-declared “maker of useful things” and her work is held in many museum collections. Zeisel was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1906 to a wealthy, highly educated assimilated Jewish family. Her mother, Laura Polányi Striker, a historian, was the first woman to get a PhD from the University of Budapest.
