Alice in Wonderland Set of 4 Rose Border Stoneware Coasters

This set of four round stoneware coasters brings the characters of Alice in Wonderland to your table. Each one is glazed and edged with a raised white rose border. The set is multicoloured, with every coaster in its own pastel shade: cream for the White Rabbit with his trumpet and the words "Late for Everything", sage green for the Mad Hatter among teacups with "It's always tea time" and 10/6 on his hat, light blue for Alice beside "Curiouser & Curiouser", and pale pink for the grinning Cheshire Cat asking "Can you stand on your head?" Each coaster measures 10cm across and 1cm deep, a comfortable size for an everyday mug.

We like to set them out on a coffee table, a desk or a bedside table, wherever a cup of tea tends to land. Because each coaster carries a different character and line, the four make a little run of the story's best moments, and everyone at the table can claim a favourite. They suit a kitchen table laid for afternoon tea, a sitting room with soft pastel touches, or a home office where a mug sits by the keyboard all day.

Each coaster is stoneware with a glazed finish. The glaze gives the surface a smooth sheen and lifts the relief roses against the pastel ground. The sketched illustrations are drawn in a deeper tone of each colour with white highlights. A wipe with a damp cloth, then a soft dry cloth, is all they should need day to day. As with any glazed piece, a knock on a hard floor can chip an edge, so handle them with care. Tied together with a ribbon in one of their shades, the set makes a charming gift for anyone who loves a pot of tea.
