Physical Description

A whitework scone holder made from two square pieces of linen, machine-stitched together across the corners from the centre of each side so that top flaps fold back to cover the scones. Floral motifs have been embroidered in white in each corner of the lower pieces, whilst the top has butterflies and bees with the word 'Scones' in one corner. The scalloped edge is crocheted with picots in white.
