Vintage Handmade Teapot Cozy Doll. Stands 19" to top of hat and the opening is about 13" across. Plastic face and hands. Very good condition.
This charming vintage handmade tea cozy doll is a delightful piece of functional folk art for your kitchen or breakfast nook. Standing approximately 19" tall to the top of her hat, her voluminous 13" wide skirt is designed to fit over a standard teapot to keep your tea warm during afternoon service. She features a classic mid-century aesthetic with a molded plastic face, bright blue eyes, and plastic hands tucked neatly at her waist. Her outfit is full of character, featuring a deep blue satin-like skirt, a white and blue floral apron with a bold orange ruffled border, and a whimsical yellow hat with a blue brim and red rose accents.
This type of "crinoline lady" or "Babushka" style cozy has been a popular tea-time companion for decades, often inspired by Eastern European folk traditions. The interior of the skirt is typically padded or quilted to provide the necessary thermal insulation to prevent your tea from cooling too quickly. Whether used as a practical kitchen tool or displayed as a unique piece of cottagecore decor, this doll adds a splash of vintage color and nostalgia to any home.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
