Kitchen, Bottle Cover: Motif Gourmet 280 or 284-7, TurquoiseDescription
A four-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting a wine bottle with a woven covering, a corkscrew in the bottle neck, and a grapevine superimposed over the body of the bottle.
This bottle cover is from Wert’s Motif Gourmet collection, a line of decidedly design-forward printed kitchen goods that veer away from his usual Americana themes. Bottle cover was offered in orange and turquoise colorways. This example is in turquoise.
This item was designed to coordinate with Motif Gourmet Herbs 280 and Cheese 284 wall hangings. It is part of a suite of kitchen accessories offered; see images and “Kitchen Accessories” entries. These items were offered individually and in matched gifts sets.
Bottle cover fits a standard bottle of wine. A loop at the top back of the cover allows it to be hung for display.
Cover is finished in turquoise seam binding to match the turquoise textile ink.Made/Created
