Kitchen, Apron: Tole 422, Pink

Description

A Country Prints production sample retained by the company as a print record. An apron with a four-color silkscreen print on white linen depicting designs found on painted tin or toleware. This apron is listed in the January 1960 Country Prints price list in two colorways (pink or blue), and it appears in the c.1960 brochure “Mat Sets by Robert Darr Wert/Country Prints”. In a stroke of efficiency, this apron is printed from the same screens as the Tole 202 table runner. A matching placemat set and table runner were also produced; see images.
