The Foxes keep heavy tomes of cyanotypes and spore prints cataloging their botanical knowledge; but in the field, they often rely on illustrated textiles which can be knotted into sacks or worn as bandanas.
This tea towel features vintage plant motifs from scholarly botanical works. Made of lush organic cotton, it elevates even mundane kitchen tasks; or would make a lovely wall hanging or altar cloth. It's big enough (about 19x28 inches) that it could easily be made into an apron. Or a wall hanging. Or, of course, used for its intended purpose. It was designed in Denmark and produced in England.
More of the story: In our world, during the Middle Ages, delegations of Christian monks and nuns arrived in Denmark. The monks grew well-stocked kitchen gardens as well as medicinal plants to supply the monastery hospitals. This towel includes depictions of a number of important monastic plants that were used — and some that are still used — as medicinal plants.
Shipping: Single items and non-box products ship for a flat rate of $7.00. Non-subscription products usually ship within 3 business days of purchase.

Absolutely Beautiful, I hate to use them!
This is a beautiful towel that is so pretty that I hang it as a wall display.
Gorgeous colors and the tea towel looks too pretty to use.
Encased in glass, my Floral Tea Towel will solely be used as a means of studying remedies and poisons without fear that some unknowing chap will come dry his soiled hands with it! It’s simply too lovely!
