Super Sweet Old Hooked Table Mat with Teapot and Butterfly fine cufflinks open on the bottomWhat I especially love about this hooked mat is the orientation of the teapot in relationship to the butterfly it's as if one is chasing the other, and right side up for one means the other is upside down! I think many a teapot has been set on it, too, as the color is fairly faded, which makes me love it all the more. 8 1 2" x 6 3 4" and other than the fading to the color in very good shape, nice and tight with no losses that I can see.
