Description
This set of four metal coasters wears a bright, retro beer label print for a pilsner called Dammer Pils, with a painted row of gabled townhouses in brick red, cream and soft blue beneath a small German flag. Each coaster has a deep green border lettered in old German script, reading Unfiltriertes Pilsner across the top and 100% Bio-Gerstenmalz around the bottom, with small gold roundels for Seit 1844 and 5.2% vol either side of the town. They are made from tinplate with a cork backing, and each one measures 8.8cm in diameter, a familiar coaster size for glasses, mugs and cups.
The four arrive in a matching round storage tin printed with the same town scene, its lid lettered Set of Four Metal Coasters, so they have somewhere tidy to live between uses. The tin is 9.6cm across and 2.8cm deep, small enough to slip into a drawer or sit on a shelf beside the glasses. They are suitable for hot and cold drinks, so the same set works for a morning coffee at the kitchen table, a cold lager on the coffee table or a cup of tea by the sofa. The old brewery look sits especially well in a home bar, a games room or a kitchen with a bit of retro character.
Each coaster pairs a printed tinplate face with a cork base, giving a soft underside that rests gently on a table top. For care, wipe the printed face with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, and keep the cork out of water so it stays in good shape. Stacked back in their tin, the four are an easy present to give, and laid out for friends on a Friday evening they bring a cheerful splash of beer hall colour to the table.

Each coaster measures 8.8cm in diameter, and the four stack neatly into their round storage tin, which is 9.6cm across and 2.8cm deep.
What are the coasters made from?
The coasters are tinplate with a cork backing, and the storage tin that holds them is tinplate printed with the same town design.
Can I use them with hot drinks?
Yes, they are suitable for hot and cold drinks, so a mug of tea and a cold glass of beer are equally at home on them.
How many coasters are in the set?
There are four coasters in the set, all carrying the same retro beer label print, and they come together in a matching storage tin.
How should I clean them?
As general good practice, wipe the printed face with a soft damp cloth, dry it well straight away, and avoid soaking the cork backing in water.
Do they make a good present?
