Name/Title

Kitchen, Oven Mitt: Motif Gourmet, Good Day, Orange

Description

An oven mitt with a four color silkscreen print depicting a radiant sun, a sunrise report and a wish to have a good day. This oven mitt is part of Country Prints’ Motif Gourmet collection, a line of decidedly design-forward kitchen accessories that veer away from Wert’s typical Americana themes. The oven mitt was offered in turquoise and orange colorways. This example is in turquoise. This oven mitt is one of a suite of matching items that includes a towel/wallhanging, coffee can cover, bottle cover, and toaster cover, amongst others; see images. Items were available individually and as matched gift sets.
