Note: Jeff Schuerholz spent close to 50 years serving Los Angeles, from pioneering Melrose to developing the Los Angeles fixture that was Fat Chance. His connection to the stars, "including David Bowie, Jocelyn Wildenstein, and everyone in between," generated enthusiasm and started new trends in the design world. Schuerholz says his "dream as a kid was always to do something that would involve people from all over the globe." Fat Chance could be seen in dozens of Hollywood movies over the past four decades, including "Dreamgirls." Vally Wieselthier was born in Vienna in 1895. She attended the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, studying painting under Kolo Moser, architecture under Josef Hoffmann, and ceramics under Michael Powolny. Founding her own workshop in Vienna in 1922, she exhibited ceramic sculptures at the ‘Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes' in Paris in 1925. In 1927 she became head of the ceramics workshop at the Wiener Werkstätte. In 1932, after taking part in the ‘International Exhibition of Ceramic Art' at the Metropolitan Museum, she moved to New York and established a studio there, working closely with the Sebring Company and the Cowan Pottery in Cleveland, Ohio.
