This unique elephant tea cozy was created on a hand-woven pre-shrunk cotton cloth base. The surface is covered with intricate patterns using silken threads. The continuous chain stitch embroidery is applied by using a hook called an "aree" instead of a needle. Because of the large number of fine neat stitches intricately placed in continuous patterns all over this elephant cozy, none of the cotton base cloth can be seen; an indicator of the quality of the cozy.

Handcrafted in Kashmir, this exquisite tea cozy is embroidered with silk threads. You will love the feel of the soft silk fibers and the elegant sheen they reflect.

This elephant tea cozy has been named Paya after the Asian Elephant and "artist". It is reported that Paya will often swing a leg, dance, and smile when he is painting. We don't know about swinging a leg and dancing but you and your guests are sure to smile at this beauty. And remember, there is only one, so if you want this cozy, buy now as it may not be here when you come back.

Be sure to measure your teapot. The inside circumference of this cozy is 20 inches but it does widen at 3 1/2 inches from the bottom to 24 inches to accommodate the spout. This cozy is 11 1/4 inches tall and 15 3/4 inches wide. Your elephant tea cozy comes with an insulated lining. Remove the lining and dry clean this beautiful piece if cleaning becomes necessary.
