Description
This cotton tea towel carries a vintage poster from 1926 advertising the Cup Final at Wembley. A goalkeeper in blue throws his arms wide across the goal mouth while players in white shirts and black shorts crowd in around him. They are set against a soft pink sky and grey stands, with a blue pitch beneath their boots. Underneath the scene, bold black lettering reads "Cup Final Wembley Saturday April 24th", just as the original poster did. The whole print sits on a natural cream cotton ground, and the towel measures 50cm wide and 70cm long, a generous size for drying up.
It earns its place in the kitchen, drying glasses after Sunday lunch or folded over the oven rail between jobs. The hanging strap on one corner means it can go up on a hook by the sink. A poster tea towel is often kept on show as much as it is put to work, so this one doubles as a small piece of football history in the room. It suits a family kitchen, a utility room or a holiday cottage, and the bold graphic style sits happily alongside plain wood, enamel and stoneware. As a gift it is light, easy to wrap and a cheerful nod to a Cup Final day at Wembley in 1926.
We like that it is made from 100% cotton and fully hemmed all round, for neat edges that look tidy on the rail. Wash it at 30°C and iron on a low heat. It should not be bleached, dry cleaned or tumble dried, so hang it to dry instead. At 76g it is light and folds flat into a drawer. It arrives folded on a printed header card, ready to give, and for a vintage kitchen look we would hang it beside a plain linen cloth and a wooden chopping board.
