Heart Tea Cozy - Uzbekistan

This is a demonstration store. You can purchase this product from Far & Wide Collective

Artisan: Rasuljon Mirzaahmedov

This tea cozy features a cotton-and-silk ikat covering that has been hand-woven using a detailed 70-step process. The heart-inspired design in shades of sky blue is based on bold, centuries-old patterns and colours.

The Uzbek term for “ikat” is “abrband” meaning literally “tying a cloud.” It is one of the oldest and most elaborate forms of textile design. Each thread is dyed with a pattern before it is woven, using traditional dyes made from natural materials, such as pomegranate and saffron. The threads are hand-woven into beautiful patterns and motifs traditional to the Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan.
