Handmade Botanical Christmas Potholders, Set of 2 Holly and Pinecone Scrollwork Hot Pads

Ornate, detailed, and festive, these handmade botanical potholders bring some drama to the Christmas kitchen. The kind of print that rewards a close look: the more you study it, the more you find. Practical heat protection that looks too beautiful to be practical.

The design

Scrolling holly-like leaves wind across a deep black background, interwoven with large red blooms, clusters of smaller red flowers, round red berries on arching stems and brown pine cones tucked throughout. The layered depth of the print has a tapestry quality. There are touches of metallic gold throughout for just the right amount of holiday sparkle. It's lush, ornate and unmistakably Christmas without a single cliché in sight. Pattern placement varies naturally between the two potholders.
