Eva Zeisel’s Hallcraft Century serveware collection was originally designed in 1956. Evoking floral blooms, the stacking collection features harmonious teardrop curves and distinctive ‘petal tips.’ A new reproduction, this elegant Gravy Boat set will elevate any sauce for a formal meal.
Excerpt from "Eva Zeisel: Life, Design, and Beauty"
"For Century, Eva created yet another new and elegant family of shapes. Retailing Daily noted, 'According to Mrs. Zeisel, the flowing, three dimensional lines are adapted from nature, suggested by the harmonious curves of petals and fruit'. A distinctive 'petal tip' transformed simple round plates into elegant teardrop forms and served as a built-in handle as it rose up and away from the form. Inspiration from nature is also evident when Century platters and serving bowls are stacked together, evoking a blossoming flower." - Earl Martin
