Note: This was the first piece Zeisel designed by drafting on paper rather than throwing clay, although it was not her first piece produced at Schramberg. Zeisel recalled that she was surprised by the finished piece because she had assumed that the "terraces," inspired by the terraces on Modernist villas then being built in German, would extend entirely around the vessel. On Zeisel's work for the Schramberger Majolikafabrik, see Pat Moore, "Schramberger Majolikafabrik," in Eva Zeisel: Life, Design, and Beauty, 2013, pp. 46-51.
