Eva Zeisel is known for her work with ceramics primarily from the period after she immigrated to the United States. Work from throughout her prodigious career is included in important museum collections across the world.

She continues to design today and has several designs in current production.

A delightful exhibition at Mingei International Museum titled Eva Zeisel: Extraordinary Designer at 100 is a must-see show.

Zeisel, who was present at the opening of her Mingei exhibition, is physically tiny in person, but a giant in the field of 20th-century design. She is still designing objects for everyday use at the age of 100.

"Everything I do is a direct creation of my hands." She has designed more than 100,000 objects. The exhibition remains at Mingei through June 10.
