Whether you're a tea drinker or a cocktail enthusiast, having good coasters is necessary to avoid damaging those precious table tops. Each coaster is handmade, with a lot of passion. A base paint is applied first, followed by the actual "Kolam" art that is hand drawn / painted on each coaster and top coat of all-in-one, glue, sealer and finish is applied to make it shiny / glossy. Each "Kolam" is different and since these coasters are hand-drawn they may have minor imperfections in them. This is not solely a coaster set, but also a handmade decor item. Featuring "Kolam" art form of India, these coasters put ethnic touch to your existing decor and light up the set up. These coasters are 4 inches (10cm) in diameter and fit almost all types of mugs and cups. Made of high-quality absorbent ceramic, the coasters quickly absorb dripping liquid stains on 5-10 seconds that can keep your table shiny and clean. In addition, each coaster is equipped with a cork backing to prevent scratches on the table. These coasters make a stunning gift set for any Indian festive occasion and make perfect gift set for house warming.
