Eva Zeisel, Hungarian born designer (of tableware, most notably) who came to America just before WWII, died at age 105 on Dec. 30, 2011. You've very likely seen her work, even if you weren't aware of that.

My wife collects Eva Zeisel. We have our entire holiday place-setting in her "Pinecone" design. Sad - she was very talented and unique.

I love their designs (I have five of their dresses) and hope some day to find the rose print one that appeared in Mad Men as mentioned in the article....
