History
The name "tea towel" originates from
England about the early nineteenth century. The tea towel was the linen of
choice for the ladies of Victorian England. They often personally used tea
towels when caring for their tea ware to avoid anything being broken by a
careless servant.
Function
The tea towel's highly absorbent, lint-free and soft
features appealed to ladies requiring the right towel to thoroughly dry their
delicate china and serving pieces without scratching or leaving lint behind.
The material tea towels are made from also provides a workable background to be
decorated with embroidery. The ladies of this period often embroidered their
own personal tea towels used during tea time to
cover food or take care of any spills.
