handknitted Michael D Higgins teapot cosy (royal blue)

This hand-knit teapot cosy is an adorable representation of Michael D Higgins himself, the 9th president of Ireland of the Republic of Ireland, from the Emerald Isle and Áras an Uachtaráin.

This tea cosy has Michael’s blue eyes, his suit here is royal blue with green/navy ties as chosen. I’ve added his distinguishable golden eye glasses and fuzzy hair. He also comes with a shamrock fabric face, in keeping with the social distancing times we are currently experiencing. And the option of a leprechaun hat to celebrate St. Patrick’s day.

Even if you aren’t a fan of tea, then he’ll work as a coffee pot cover too. What a fantastic talking point he will in your kitchen/living area. What a great novelty teapot cosy. You can say the president came to call!!!

He is a large size teapot cosy that will fit a 4- 6 cup teapot.

Michael must be hand washed (He doesn’t like washing machines) and please let him naturally. Please take care when washing especially with his glasses. Do not tumble dry. Do not bleach. Reshape whilst damp. He is environment-friendly and economical.

Acrylic wool blend, safety toy stuffing, craft wire, polyester wool blend, 100% pure wool, buttons.
