This oven cloth was home made from recycled materials by Vivian Thorby. The original materials of this cloth are from about the 1940s to 1950s and the cloth was then made in the late 1950s or early 1960s. Thorby had been making similar items for many years. The fabric appears very vintage and would have been a clothing offcut, likely from a dress.
