Summary

Alternative Name(s): Oven Mits

Vinyl, square holder containing two pot holders. Recorded as being made by Vi Morgan, Albert Park, Melbourne, circa 1940-1950. However, a commercial-style label is sewn into a seam on the outside of the set, suggesting they were either not made by Vi herself or she made them to sell.
