Description
These are paper napkins sold as a pack of 20, each one 33cm long and 33cm wide, printed with a multicoloured design of plump lemons and their leaves laid over broad stripes. The lemons are drawn with soft, sketchy shading, so they read like a still life rather than a flat cartoon, and the stripes run from edge to edge so the whole square is covered. At 33cm square they are a good everyday size: large enough to open across a lap at dinner, small enough to fold neatly beside a plate or under the cutlery.
Their natural home is the kitchen or dining table, and they come into their own when there are more people to feed than usual: a garden lunch, a picnic, a birthday tea, a long table set for friends. They are made for contact with food, so one can line a bread basket, wrap a slice of cake for a guest to take home, or sit under a plate of sandwiches on a sideboard. A lemon print suits fish suppers, summer salads, lemon tarts and anything served with a cold drink, and it brings a lift of colour to a plain dinner service without any fuss.
They are made of paper, and paper napkins are meant for a single use, so there is nothing to wash, starch or iron once the meal is over. We like keeping a pack of 20 in a kitchen drawer for the days when cloth napkins feel like too much work. For styling, fold each one into a triangle and tuck it under the fork, or fan a few out across the table so the stripes and lemons show; they look their best against a plain tablecloth, which lets the print do the talking.
