Edith Heath Artist

Edith Kiertzner Heath (May 24, 1911 – December 27, 2005) was an American studio potter "but soon became involved in the design and production of pottery and tableware on a far larger scale than that of most studio potters." In 1948, Edith founded Heath Ceramics. The company, well known for its mid-century modern ceramic tableware, including "Heathware," and architectural tiles, is still operating in Sausalito, in Marin County of the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States.
