This vibrant tea towel features Melanie’s hand-painted “Kindness Jug” — a joyful reminder of one of the simplest and most powerful values at the heart of family life. Inspired by English folk art, slipware pottery and the rhythmic patterns of traditional printed textiles, this piece brings warmth, colour and optimism into any kitchen.
A decorative jug sits at the centre, framed by an illustrated wreath of leaves and tiny red flowers, with the word Kindness hand-lettered in Melanie’s signature style. Behind it, a lively field of teal diamonds and stylised tulips creates a tapestry-like backdrop, full of pattern and personality. A textured dark base ground anchors the composition, giving it the richness of an old painted panel.
Designed in Melanie’s Shropshire studio and printed in the UK on premium cotton, this tea towel is both practical and uplifting — a beautiful everyday reminder of the gentler things.
