Kitchen, Bottle Cover: Motif Gourmet 280 or 284-7, OrangeDescription
A bottle cover with a four-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting a wine bottle with a woven cover, a corkscrew in the bottle neck, and a grapevine superimposed over the body of the bottle.
This bottle cover is part of Country Prints’ Motif Gourmet collection, a decidedly design-forward offering of kitchen accessories that veers away from his typical Americana themes. This cover was offered in orange and turquoise colorways. This example is in orange.
This item is part of a suite of kitchen accessories designed to coordinate with the Motif Gourmet Herbs 280 and Cheese 284 wall hangings; see images. These items were offered individually and in matched gifts sets.
Bottle cover appears in the brochure “Country Prints by Robert Darr Wert and Neighbors”, c.1966; see images.
The bottle cover fits a standard bottle of wine. A loop at the top back of the cover allows it to be hung for display.Made/Created
