Description
This slate coaster carries a gentle watercolour of a Christmas sheep, its woolly white coat set off by a bright red scarf with fringed ends. Pine sprigs, two pine cones, holly leaves and red berries gather along the bottom, and the words 'All is Calm all is Baaaaa-right' sit in typewriter-style lettering beside its head. The face is white with red accents, and the square tile has softly rounded corners and a rugged, uneven edge. It measures 10cm by 10cm and is 0.8cm thick, a neat size that takes a mug of tea or a glass of mulled wine without crowding the table.
We like it on the kitchen table, a coffee table in the living room or the arm of a favourite chair, wherever the evening cup of tea tends to land through December. The pun is the kind that earns a smile from whoever picks up their drink, so it suits a home that likes its Christmas with a little humour alongside the holly. The soft winter greens and berry reds sit happily with traditional Christmas tableware, cream china and rustic wood, and the sheep brings a touch of the countryside to a town flat as readily as to a farmhouse kitchen.
The coaster is made of slate, with the sheep, greenery and lettering across its white face and the grey of the slate just showing at the edges. Care is simple: wipe the face with a soft damp cloth, dry it with a soft dry cloth and avoid leaving it to soak. Between uses it can stay out on the table or tuck into a drawer with the Christmas napkins until next year. Wrapped with a box of tea or a bag of good coffee, it makes a small, cheerful gift, and it is just as welcome on your own table through the festive weeks.
