Tea cosy

A tea cosy or tea warmer is a cover for a teapot, traditionally made of cloth. It insulates a teapot, keeping the contents warm, with its properties based on low thermal conductivity of the air trapped underneath and inside the cosy. In this respect the cosy is similar to a thermos flask that had become popular in the beginning of the 20th century.
