- Zeisel's designs for Schramberg are among her earliest surviving works. For a coffee service with the same decoration see 'Sammlung Brohan, Kunst der 20er und 30er Jahren', Berlin 1985, no. 501. For further examples of this pattern (decor 3526) on Zeisel shapes, see Pat Kirkham (ed), 'Eva Zeisel: Life, Design, and Beauty', San Francisco 2013, pp.49 and 51.
