Rose Cabat, an American studio ceramist, was part of the midcentury modern movement. She was best known for her innovative glazes on small thin-walled porcelain vases she called “feelies.” These are often in the shape of onions, figs, cucumbers, pears, and tomatoes. Many have glazes also named for fruits, vegetables, or flowers: onionskin, cucumber, apple green, malachite, olive, and lavender. The top opening is often so tiny it won’t even hold the smallest reed; they offer beauty for beauty’s sake, without functionality. Cabat was open about her construction techniques, but when she developed a silky satiny glaze that made the feelies so distinctive, she never revealed her formulas.
