WW Artists - Vally Wieselthier (1895-1945)  Ceramic original, Figure of a woman (design 26.4.1927) by Wiener Werkstätte. © Dorotheum, Art Nouveau, 18th November 1997 In a similar way to the works of other potters (Susi Singer, Dina Kuhn, Gudrun Baudisch, Herta Bucher) her works led to a stylistic about-turn in the WW: glazing was the decisive and main creative factor. In 1932 the artist emigrated to the USA and her style changed: the characteristically refreshing expressiveness became paralysed, a shift in colours towards earthy hues was seen. From 1940 on she earned her living from small consumer items and decorative articles which she sold at Lord & Taylor's among other shops.
