Domestic Object - MERLE HOULDEN COLLECTION: FABRIC POT HOLDER, 1940's-50's

Physical description

Square shaped pot holder. Centre panel, and back lining are made from pale blue "silky - type" (probably synthetic) fabric. This 9 X 11cm panel is surrounded by a band of yellow fabric, which also forms a binding around the edges. A blue and white check flannelette fabric forms the padding in the pot holder. Folded strips of floral cotton form a decorative band between the small and larger rectangles. This border is decorated by yellow stitchery. A fabric loop at one corner is for hanging purposes.
