William Morris Strawberry Thief Floral Oven Glove

William Morris Strawberry Thief Floral Oven Glove

This licensed William Morris design was first produced in 1883. The design was a triumph for Morris as it marked the perfecting of the indigo-discharge technique of printing at Merton Abbey. The design was inspired by William Morris’s observation of the thrushes under the strawberry nets at his home, Kelmscott Manor.

Measurements: these William Morris ovengloves are 84 cm (33") long by 20 cm (8") wide.

Details: The ovengloves contain 10oz needlepoly wadding which has been sewn with a diamond quilting. The back of the hand are protected with a 2oz coravin covered backhand. The oven glove conforms to British Standard.

The ovenglove edge is bound with a matching Strawberry Thief binding.

Care for your item: the ovengloves are machine washable at 40 degrees.

Just like all our items, the William Morris fabric has been printed, quilted and manufactured into ovengloves in the United Kingdom.
