This vintage-style tea towel features Eggs, a beautifully ordered natural history illustration drawn from classic 19th-century scientific plates. The design presents a careful study of eggs from different bird species, arranged by size, colour, and pattern, each one subtly distinct.
Rendered in soft greys, creams, and gently speckled tones, the artwork has the restrained elegance of an antique reference chart. The variations in markings — from fine freckles to bold blotches — invite close looking, celebrating both nature’s precision and its endless variety.
Both practical and decorative, this tea towel brings a sense of calm observation and quiet curiosity into the kitchen. Its neutral palette and balanced composition make it especially suited to light, understated interiors and spaces inspired by nature, craft, and thoughtful design.
Printed on 100% cotton and handmade in Britain by our small family business, each tea towel is carefully finished for everyday use while preserving the clarity and character of the original illustration.
