Know before you buy
The Mermaid Coaster is sold as a single piece. Because each item is individually handcrafted and Raku fired, every coaster features unique color variations.
Raku firing is an artistic technique that creates the signature crackled finish and vibrant colors. While beautiful, this pottery is intended for indoor use and should be handled with the same care as other decorative ceramic pieces.
Yes, each coaster features a non-slip cork backing. This provides stability on smooth surfaces while also protecting your furniture from scratches.
These ceramic coasters are designed to handle standard beverage temperatures. However, because they are handcrafted pottery, they are best suited for indoor use and should be kept away from extreme thermal shock.
To preserve the finish and the cork backing, wipe the ceramic surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the coaster in water or placing it in the dishwasher, as moisture can damage the cork.
