Vintage Mid-20th Century Printed Cotton Tablecloths and Crocheted Linens - This collection consists of multiple vintage household textiles and table linens dating from the mid-20th century. The lot features several printed cotton textiles, including a large tablecloth with a vibrant blue field and a repeating pattern of white and pink flowering branch motifs. A novelty kitchen textile features a folk art style print depicting houses, chickens, picket fences, and floral designs in a red, blue, yellow, and green color palette. Another printed panel shows a figurative motif of a girl in a green bonnet with purple and pink floral accents, characteristic of Dutch girl designs from the period.

Additional items include cream and white lace fragments, doilies, and a textile with yellow stripes. The pieces are constructed from cotton and linen with a mix of machine-printed patterns and hand-crocheted lace.
