Tea cosy

Shared by
Middlemarch Museum

Tea cosy; an intricately crafted, felted tea cosy made in the shape of a house with a chimney to be used to lift it off the teapot. Two windows and a door are appliquéd in red wool on one side. There is a small dormer window above the door. The reverse is a wall. Around the base are embroidered different flowers with a creepers around the door and in a curved shape at the back. The tea cosy is lined with fawn satin, stitched to the felted outer with tacking stitches.
