Tea Towels:
One may first look at a tea towel and be curious as to what purpose they serve. Absorbent in nature they serve as wonderful kitchen towels because they instantly soak up any water without shedding the annoying fibers that terry towels often leave behind, and also dry at a much faster rate. For a classier type of practicality they were originally made to set under the tea pot and tea cups to beautify the arrangement and also catch any runaway drops of tea. Tea towels are also commonly used to decorate a kitchen or bar. As they are either very witty or decoratively designed, they lend themselves to wall hangings very well- particularly when framed.
Irish printed Tea towels came in to use in the early 50's when the Irish began to replace plain linen tea towels with printed towels producing conversational interest. These early towels ranged from maps of Ireland to pictures of the Beatles. They were always executed with the subtlest expression typical to Irish dry wit. Now some of these towels have become collector items.
