Name/Title

Runner: Craft Horizons, Dill Pots 201, Gray/Green

Description

A Country Prints production sample retained as a print record. A table runner with a three-color silkscreen print on heavy off-white linen depicting abstractions of mid-century ceramics against trapezoidal fields of green and gray punctuated with dill flowers. This table runner is part of a short-lived c.1959 collection titled “Craft Horizons”, a decidedly modern departure from Wert’s typical Americana themes. Edges are straight stitched and fringed.
