The Met Store William Morris Strawberry Thief Pot Holder and Oven Mitt Set

Artful kitchen accessories inspired by The Met collection.

This giftable pot holder and oven mitt set features a detail from Strawberry Thief (registered 1883, printed 1917–23), one of William Morris’s (British, 1834–1896) most iconic creations. The inspiration for this kaleidoscopic textile in the Museum’s holdings was derived from the designer’s country home, Kelmscott Manor, where a community of thieving thrushes would pluck the strawberries from his garden.
