At nearly 105 years old, Eva Zeisel continues her work, in her words, as "a maker of useful things." The strong yet feminine lines of her creations, whether in ceramic, glass or in furniture, are instantly recogizable. Her work is on display in numerous museums and is sold still today through major retailers such as Gump's, Design Within Reach and Crate & Barrel. Her products range from the highly collectible tea set, below, on sale for $7,900.00, to her tables in the $2,000 range and her everyday "Classic Century" collection at the wallet-friendly Crate & Barrel. The furniture below can be found at

| Young Eva; such style! |
 |
| I adore the lines of this piece. Simultaneously heavy and romantic. A classic. |
 |
| Recent Eva; the piece is part of the Classic Collection. |

| Grand Dining Table. |
 |
| Collectable tea service. |
 |
| I would take this Trestle Table for my entryway in a hearbeat. The craftsmanship here evokes to some extent the wood carving of Victorian furnishing, with its heavy yet sinuous lines. |
