Tea towels were apparently first used by 18th century old English ladies to dry their fragile bone china.
The English, Australians and New Zealanders prefer the term 'tea towel'. North Americans, meanwhile, normally use the term 'dish towel' - but those of Italian descent may be familiar with the word 'mappina', which actually means map (apparently because maps were originally drawn on cloth).
