North American Oyster Tea Towel

There’s something about a list. And a list of 204 varieties of North American oysters: pure poetry. Beau Soleil, Chincoteague, Emerald Cove, Pearl Bay, Stellar Bay, Summer Ice, Phantom Creek. From Snow Hill to Summerside, Onset Beach to Otter Cove, Salt Aire to Shinnecock, Watch Hill to Wellfleet, Whale Rock to Windy Bay, these many oysters present an evocative virtual culinary tour on this charming tea towel. The places of origin and taste profiles of each mollusk are also listed with each oyster.

Inspired by traditional English tea towels, each one is made from pure linen to avoid surface lint when drying delicate china and glassware. The towels are printed using silk screens and are cut from running yardage that comes off the loom with selvage sides before the ends are hemmed by hand.

This distinctive towel makes a beautiful addition to kitchen décor; we’ve also seen it used on the table and as a hand towel.

Black ink on white pure linen; 18" x 28"; Made in India.
