===Later career, 1980s–2011=== Zeisel stopped designing during the 1960s and 1970s, to work on American history writing projects. Her major research focused on the [[New York Conspiracy of 1741|New York Conspiracy]], an alleged slave rebellion in 1741 New York City which resulted in many innocent slaves being put to death or transported to plantations in the Caribbean. Zeisel found parallels between their trials and the Soviet show trials of which she had been a victim. She returned to design work in the 1980s.<ref>Traubman, Eleanor; [http://creativetimes.blogspot.com/2007/01/meeting-eva-zeisel.html Meeting Eva Zeisel]; January 13, 2007,</ref> Many of her later designs have found the same success as her earlier designs. These include glassware, ceramics, furniture and lamps for The Orange Chicken, porcelain, crystal and limited-edition prints for KleinReid, glasses and giftware for Nambé, a teakettle for Chantal, furniture and gift-ware for Eva Zeisel Originals, rugs for The Rug Company, "Classic-Century," one of [[Crate and Barrel|Crate & Barrel]]'s best selling dinner services, produced by [[Royal Staffordshire Pottery|Royal Stafford]]. This set combines pieces from the "Tomorrow's Classic" and "Century" lines. ("Classic-Century is now sold by EvaZeiselOriginals.com) Most of the pieces for this set were made from the original molds (dishwasher safe). She also created a line of flatware produced by Yamazaki for Crate & Barrel, and a coffee table and stoneware / dinnerware set (called Granit) for Design Within Reach. A bone china tea set, designed in 2000, is manufactured by the Lomonosov Porcelain factory in [[St. Petersburg, Russia]]. Zeisel released two designs in 2010 through EvaZeiselOriginals.com: Eva Zeisel Lounge Chair and Eva Zeisel Salt & Pepper Shakers. The Lounge Chair was featured in the February 2010 issue of [[O Magazine]] and The S&P shakers were featured in the April 2010 issue of O Magazine. Her new designs for a line of glass lamps (pendant, wall and table lamps) was introduced in 2012 by Leucos USA. In 2017 Spinneybeck/FilzFelt introduced a collection of felt, acoustic wall tiles based on Zeisel's tile and space divider designs. They come in 63 colors, and custom sizes. Reproductions of earlier designs have been sold at MoMa, [[Brooklyn Museum]] and [[Neue Galerie New York|Neue Galerie]], as well as other museum gift shops.
