Name/Title

Kitchen, Toaster Cover: Motif Gourmet 280 or 284-4, Orange

Description

A toaster cover with a four-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting a fondue pot, cooking implements, vegetables and herbs. This toaster cover is part of Country Prints’ Motif Gourmet collection, a line of decidedly design-forward kitchen accessories that veer away from Wert’s usual Americana themes. The toaster cover was offered in turquoise and orange colorways. This example is in orange. The toaster cover is part of a suite of kitchen accessories designed to coordinate with Motif Gourmet Herbs 280 and Cheese 284 wall hangings; see images. Edges are finished in orange bias tape to match the orange textile ink.
