Kitchen, Potholder: Motif Gourmet 280 or 284-2, Turquoise or OrangeDescription
A potholder with a four-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting a fondue pot, cooking implements, vegetables and herbs.
This potholder 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 potholder was offered in turquoise and orange colorways.
The potholder 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 bias tape to match the textile ink. Bias tape forms a loop at upper left corner for hanging.Made/Created
