Kitchen, Coffee Can Cover: Motif Gourmet 280 or 284-5, 1 lb., TurquoiseDescription
A coffee can cover with a four-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting an antique pour-over coffee maker on a gridiron atop the word “coffee”, flanked by berry laden branches of a coffee plant.
This coffee can cover is part of Country Prints’ Motif Gourmet collection, a line of decidedly design-forward kitchen accessories that veered away from his typical Americana themes. This cover was offered in turquoise and orange colorways. This example is in turquoise.
This cover is one of a suite of kitchen accessories designed to coordinate with Motif Gourmet Herbs 280 and Cheese 284 wall hangings; see images and “Kitchen Accessories” entries. These items were offered individually and in matched gifts sets.
Edges are finished with turquoise seam binding to match the turquoise textile ink.Made/Created
