It is a little device that keeps your teapot warm so that the tea stays hot longer. You can get knitted ones, dome-style ones, or those that wrap around the teapot and gather at the top.
Here is a link to what some look like:

Its usually an insulated padded sort of cover that goes over the teapot to keep the tea warm

It is a cover for the teapot to keep the teapot warm. My grandma had a nice collection of them. Some were made of tree bark, woven out of black sheep wool (that was my favorite and she gave it to me when I graduated from high school), sewn, knitted, crocheted. They really do keep the tea in the pot warm.

a tea cosy is a covering for a teapot,for some it was used as a form of insulation or for guarding against burning your hand on the pot,but i think it was just a decorative thing for visitors over for a cuppa
