Know before you buy
No, these coasters are made from hand-poured glass and are not absorbent. However, they feature a high rim design specifically engineered to contain condensation and prevent spills from reaching your furniture.
These coasters are designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the decoupaged artwork and the velvet backing.
Because these are handmade with delicate decoupaged artwork, they are not dishwasher safe. We recommend wiping the glass surface gently with a soft, damp cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals or submerging them in water.
These coasters are not heat-resistant. While they provide a protective barrier against moisture, they should not be used as trivets for hot mugs or pans.
The coasters feature a luxurious black velvet backing rather than a rubberized non-slip material. While the velvet protects your surfaces from scratches, it does not provide a high-friction grip.
