Charming 'Fairistytch' Pastel Asters/Mums/Zinnas? Vase

Hand Embroidered Tea cosy





'Fairistytch' Designs are the Pinnacle 'Crowning point' of Hand Embroidery - Rare and hard to find.

I have for sale a charming Vintage "Fairistytch" Hand Embroidered Tea cosy cover. This wonderful cosy has gorgeous decorative Vase filled with Pastel Asters/Chrysanthemums/Zinnas? - to both sides - so pretty. Skilfully hand embroidered using neat stitches, on an off-white quality weight linen, with a ladder worked turned edge to the bottom :) No padded insert included.

- just Amazing and very collectable :)

Note; I have a passion for 'Fairistytch' designs, and have collected the booklets, and finished linens, over many many years - as such I will not be listing a copy from my booklet as proof of design. I will only be giving the copy of the design to the winning buyer in their parcel - if they want it? … I find that all my research over many years, is being copied by other sellers :(

I have some information on 'Fairistytch' designs below :)

~ I have put a little information about the 'Fairistytch' company;

‘Fairistytch’ was a company Est. 1919 by T.F. Beckett of Scotland. They sold a full range of traced linens, threads and more, for needle/craft-persons to make.

‘Fairistytch’ was a very popular brand, and were sold in retail outlets in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

~ These finished pieces are considered the highest pinnacle of Hand embroidery to own and collect, and so I find and 'bring back to life' these amazing pieces of History, to share with you :)

About me :)

I am married to a wonderful man and have two gorgeous children, I work and run this small business ~ so busy :) We live out of town on a few acres, looking out on rolling green hills - Bliss :) I try to post the same day or next day after payment has cleared ~ I don't post on week-ends.
I am obsessed with collecting Vintage Textiles and other interesting Treasures ~ this has been a lifelong interest of mine. "I find these gorgeous 'Vintage Linen Treasures', and bring them 'Back to Life' just for you". Embroidery work is such a lost art ~ it is not as common as it was in our Grandmothers days, and to the standard they were taught as part of 'getting ready to run their own homes'. I think about the person who has spent so many hours making such beautiful creations ~ it truly is a lost art. These gorgeous 'Linen Treasures' are getting very hard to find! ~ so I gather them to offer to you :) They are washed and lightly pressed, ready to use in your home, gift or your own collection :)

Enjoy!! :)
