Cerveza Española Set of 4 Metal Coasters with Storage Tin

This set of four metal coasters carries a bright vintage-style print of a dancer in a ruffled pale blue dress, turning among plump oranges, glossy green leaves and white orange blossom on a warm red ground. Around each one runs a deep blue border lettered in white with the Spanish words 'Cerveza Española fresca y refrescante' and 'Elaborado y embotellado en Granada'. Together they read like an old beer label for a fresh, refreshing Spanish beer brewed and bottled in Granada. Each coaster measures 8.8cm across, and all four come with a round storage tin carrying the same print.

We think they look their best wherever drinks gather: on the kitchen table, on a coffee table, on a desk or on a dining table set for a long, lazy lunch. They are suitable for hot and cold drinks, so the same coaster takes your morning coffee, a mug of tea in the afternoon and a cold glass of beer or wine in the evening. The sunny orange and Mediterranean blue print brings a holiday feeling to a plain wooden or painted table, and it sits happily in a kitchen with a Spanish, retro or bistro look. Because the tin keeps them together, they are just as easy to tuck into a drawer between meals as they are to bring out when friends come round.

Each coaster has a printed tinplate face with a cork backing, and the storage tin is tinplate too, measuring 9.6cm across and 2.8cm deep with a lift-off lid. They are wipe clean only: a damp cloth followed by a dry one is all they need, and we would never soak them in water. Between uses the tin can sit out on a kitchen shelf, where its print earns its place in its own right. As a present, the matching tin means they are ready to give as they come.
