A tea cosy composed of a linen fabric embroidered with apple green silk thread in a "Renaissance Revival" style featuring designs of animals, scrolls, and cornucopia. The obverse features a design of confronting long-necked birds and masks symmetrically arranged along a vertical "flower stand". The reverse features a symmetrical design of cornucopia filled with fruit atop large C scrolls on which birds perch eating the fruit. Floral designs fill the C-scrolls, which terminate with "dolphin" designs. The embroidery, worked in medium-thick yellow-green (apple-green) silk threads, forms a solid background of long flat stitches. The shapes appear out of the undyed and unembroidered linen ground. A twisted silk braid approximately ¼" runs around the bottom edge and across the top edge between the two sides of the cosy. This braid is looped three times at either side of the bottom. The cosy is lined in "eau de mil" sateen cotton of a faded green color.
