Vintage Handmade Apple & Pear Embroidered Pot Holders – 1950s Kitchen Decor

These delightful fruit-shaped pot holders are true mid-century treasures. Handmade and embroidered with bright, silky threads, they feature a smiling red apple and a cheerful yellow pear — the kind of whimsical, anthropomorphic fruit design that defined 1950s and early 1960s kitchen style.

Each piece is made of cotton fabric with beautifully stitched details and finished with a small hanging loop. They’re decorative rather than padded, perfect for framing, hanging on a kitchen wall, or adding to a vintage linen collection.

Both appear unused and have been wonderfully preserved — the colors remain vibrant and the fabric crisp, with no stains or fading. It’s rare to find a handmade set like this in such pristine condition.

Sold as a set of two.
