Isn't this lovely workmanship.
If you look closely you can see the inside seam where it was turned. It doesn't have a single machine stitch.The colors are still so vibrant too.
I just love the clovers and dainty flowers. I guess some of you who crochet would know what kind of flower it is.
Well , there it is. Now you can see why I cherish it so. I hope to be making some this Christmas for tea friends, but I can assure you, they will not be nearly as beautiful as this. Do you have one that is very special to you? Please share.

How wonderful to have such a cherished heirloom. It is sure to make teatime extra special. I'm sure if it could talk, like teacups, it would have many interesting stories to tell.
What a wonderful cozy made even more special by it's provenance!
What a beautiful family heirloom and very fine crochet work. The plaid lining is pretty too.
My special cozy is one that my hubby cross-stitched for me. It has my monogram and pretty flowers.
Cute, cute, cute....lovely gift that reflects your heritage. So glad you have it in your care. Love that plaid inside it.
Oh, my - what an amazing heirloom. It is just gorgeous and so special!
My favorite tea cozy is from my friend Sweetcakes. It matches a tea set that I favor. :-)
I guess my favorite tea cozy is a filet crochet piece I made, simply because it took me years to finish it! And the flowers on your cozy are roses -- I've crocheted some exactly like them! In fact, I just won a vintage pattern book on eBay for tea cozies made with similar roses, and can't wait to make another (but simpler!) tea cozy.
This is one of the prettiest tea cozy's I've ever seen, and how special that it was in the family!
