Synopsis
With a trailblazing career spanning more than seventy-five years and continuing to this day, with recent creations including a Martini glass featured in Bombay Sapphire ads, Eva Zeisel stands at the forefront of twentieth-century designers. Her works, mostly in ceramics and glass, are a reflection of a profoundly independent vision, unconstrained by design conventions, fads or ideologies. In this lavishly illustrated, full-colour book, the designer for the first time communicates the ideas that have guided and inspired her work throughout her career.

Review
"'[Zeisel] is absolutely one of the greats of twentieth-century design... Her work is about the emotional effect objects have on us. It is the most essential and meaningful activity' Christopher Wilk, Chief Curator, Department of Furniture and Woodwork, The Victoria and Albert Museum 'Zeisel has always been ahead of, or outside, her time... She is justly revered for enlivening the 20th century with elegant, expressive modern ceramics' The Washington Post"
