Sayonne Cosy Cover
c 1900
This Glasgow School of Art style teacosy was called the Sayonne Cosy Cover and illustrated in Needlecraft Monthly Magazine for February 1909.* The design and colours are typical for the GSA but also the Suffragates!

Very good condition. Not faded. Probably do with a good wash!
