Napkin, Cocktail: Calico Hearts 318, AquaDescription
A three-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting heart shaped fruits, as might be found on calico fabric prints.

This example may be a sales sample, as it has unsewn edges and incomplete fringe. It is also in a variant of the aqua colorway.
