Exactly as pictured and precisely what I wanted!
The  first thing I noticed was that the colors were exactly as pictured -- turquoise, purple, and gold, one of my favorite combinations. I used it for the first time today, and it kept my tea warm for an hour! It fit my 40 oz teapot perfectly, was easy to place and tighten, and left the handle, spout, and top easily accessible.  I was actually able to make the loose-leaf tea in a strainer without getting tea leaves all over the fabric.<br /><br />I recommend this tea cozy wholeheartedly and commend Dot the artist and entrepreneur for her quality and workmanship. Definitely worth the price and I will keep her in mind to provide gifts for any of my tea-loving friends.
