50s Doily Bottle Cap Trivet/Hot Plate Crochet hotsell Folk Art Multicolor Shabby Chic Cottage Decor Handmade 3 Piece Set Vintage 1950

This is a vintage 1950's, handcrafted, 3 piece set of crochet, bottle-cap trivets. The larger hotplate is a 6 point star and measures 15 inches in diameter from tip to tip and the matching, 2 smaller, hexagon, shaped trivets measure about 9 inches in diameter. They are expertly designed in wonderful, solid & variegated, cotton thread in pink, red, blue, aqua, yellow and green, pastel colors. Many hours of work went into the making of these doilies/trivets as each bottle cap has painstakingly been given a crocheted cover and then hand-stitched together. These can be used for trivets, which was their original intent, or simply as decorative doilies on a table. They are in good condition with some minor stains, but no rips or tears. The soiling however is not that noticeable and does not take away from their charming appearance. Perhaps they could be freshened up with some hand washing, but there is no guarantee of that. These are wonderful, one-of-a-kind, folk-art doilies sure hotsell to enhance any location and would make for fabulous Easter Decor because the bottle-caps sort of emulate Easter eggs. They are being sold as a set only. Please be sure before purchasing as this item is not returnable.
