This is the ultimate luxury accessory for the tea drinker who has everything. This delicate tea cosy is made from superfine silk that is as thin as tissue paper. It is down-filled and cotton lined, and features a triple row of gathers over its crown. This piece would be such a great display piece for someone who collects antique tea pots.
The measurements are 10 inches tall and 15 inches wide. The filling is very thick and at least double the thickness of modern polyester filled tea cozies.
In order to demonstrate the size of teapot, I have covered a canister with the following dimensions for reference (6.5 inches tall and 6 inches in diameter).
This is tea cosy is in remarkable shape for its age. There are the following small faults:
— Occasional small pin sized holes in the ruffle of the piece.
— A section of small holes and tears on the inside edge of one side (not visible when displayed, and fill is protected from exposure by the cotton lining).
Please view the pictures of the nature of these faults.
