About the Item

A mid century pottery wind bell by mid century ceramicist, Rose Cabat (1940-2015). An uncommon piece by Rose Cabat who is best known for her small vases called "feelies". Natural terracotta with a carved bird design around the sides. A copper kite hangs from a chain to catch the wind. Signed "Cabat" at the top of the bell. Please read her biography copied below. A rare collectible and piece of decorative history from the mid 20th century. Artist Biography: "Rose Cabat worked in earthenware, stoneware, and beginning in the 1950s porcelain. Although best known for her expressive "feelies", small forms usually between two to eight inches in height with thin neck openings challenging their assumed vessel function. Cabat also created a series of wind-bells in the 1950s and other forms based on insects and animals. Cabot, a self taught artist, first encountered clay as an artistic medium in 1940 when her husband, Erni, brought it home from work. Her first works were coil built, then, as electric wheels became increasingly available, she started throwing pottery. After a glaze calculation class at the University of Hawaii in 1956 she and Erni began developing the lustrous satin glazes used on her "feelies.”
