Description
This cotton tea towel carries the Vintage Passata print, a bold design styled like an old-fashioned tin label from an Italian larder. A plate of long red and yellow peppers on a leafy stem sits at its centre, framed by a teal top half and a bright red lower half, with "Tomato & Pepper" lettered across the top and "Passata" in heavy black capitals beneath. Fine lettering runs up both sides, a small round badge reads "12¼ oz", and bands of coloured stripes finish each end above a cream border. It measures 50cm wide and 70cm long, big enough for drying a full rack of dishes.
It belongs in the kitchen, where it earns its place twice over. Use it to dry glasses, pans and plates after supper or to cover a bowl of rising dough, then hang it from a rail or a hook by the sink so the print stays on show. The warm reds and deep teal sit happily in a farmhouse kitchen with painted cupboards, and they look just as good against white tiles and pale worktops, where one strong pattern brings the room to life. Pinned to a pantry door or folded over a dresser shelf, it gives a cheerful, sunny Italian feel to everyday cooking.
It is made from 100% cotton and fully hemmed, with a hanging strap on one corner so it hangs neatly from a hook or peg. Caring for it is simple: wash it at 30°C and iron it on a low heat, and do not dry clean, bleach or tumble dry it. Hang it to dry and it is ready for the next round of washing up. It makes an easy present to wrap or post, folded with a favourite cookbook or a jar of homemade sauce, and it is just as welcome kept for your own kitchen.
