eva zeisel: a tribute to the hungarian hottie

Eva Zeisel

"Self -Portrait"

c. 1920s

I'm not sure why I haven't done a post on Eva Zeisel yet.

I'm not much of a "dish queen",

but I feel a little guilty it took

her death to get her onto the "pages" of

MONDOBLOGO.

I also "lost"

 (just for a few days luckily)

 the monograph I had on her,

so not only is her tribute overdue,

but it is late!

So here we go,

better late than never....
