Inspirations: Eva Zeisel
At the age of 104 (that's right!), designer and potter Eva Zeisel is still rockin' it. Zeisel began her career as a mid-century potter who designed everyday dishware for companies such as Hall, Sears, and Red Wing China to name just a few. These days, she keeps ever so busy collaborating with young companies like Klein Reid and Design Within Reach.

Exactly what I want to be doing years from now: Doing what I love no matter the age. Wonderful story. Congrads Ms. Zeisel,
