Description
This set of four metal coasters carries a sunny aperitivo spritz illustration that brings a little Italian café cheer to the table. Each round coaster shows a wine glass of orange spritz with ice, a striped straw and a slice of orange. Beside it sit two whole oranges with their leaves, on a pink and magenta checked cloth. The words "Italian Aperitivo Spritz" curve around the top in mint green, and a bright orange-red rim frames the pink face. Each coaster measures 8.8cm across, a comfortable size for a mug, a tumbler or a stemmed glass, and the four arrive in a matching tin printed with the same design.
They belong wherever drinks are poured and set down: the dining table when friends come round for an early evening glass, the coffee table beside the sofa, a sideboard drinks corner or the kitchen counter for the morning cup of tea. They are suitable for hot and cold drinks, so the same four do duty for a mug of coffee at breakfast and a long, cold spritz at the end of the day. The colours sit happily with warm wood, white crockery and anything orange, pink or terracotta, and they add a holiday mood to a plain table.
Each coaster is tinplate on top with a cork backing underneath, so the side that meets your table is cork rather than bare metal. When they are not in use, the four stack back into their lidded tinplate tin, 9.6cm across and 2.8cm deep, so they stay together in a drawer or on a shelf. The whole set weighs just 113g. To keep them looking their best, wipe the printed face with a damp cloth, dry it straight away and keep the cork out of standing water. Ready printed and neatly boxed in its own tin, the set makes an easy gift for anyone who loves an early evening drink.
