Rose Katz Cabat was born in 1914 in The Bronx, New York and lived to be 100 years old until her death in 2015. Cabat was most well known for her "Feelies" which are onion or fig shaped ceramic vases with terminating closed necks. Rose and her husband, Erni ran a business together where she continued to make feelies and Erni was in charge of the business. Cabat's style was very unique compared to most styles of pottery where she was predominantly focused on the beauty of the vases rather than being a container to hold items. I chose this specific piece because I enjoy the wide shape and it reminds me of an exotic melon or fruit of some sort.
