Description
This round ceramic coaster carries a finely drawn Labrador puppy, its soft ears, wrinkled brow and gleaming nose picked out in black on a white matt ground. Above the puppy, the word labrador sits in bold lower-case lettering, and around the edge runs a ring of the breed's best-loved traits: playful, friendly, intelligent, outgoing, kind, gentle, trusting, tolerant, easy-going and loyal. It measures 10.5cm across and 1cm deep, a comfortable size for a mug or a tumbler without taking over the table.
It earns its place wherever a drink gets set down: beside the sofa, on a desk in the home office, on a bedside table or at the end of the kitchen counter. The black and white print sits happily in a modern monochrome room and just as easily in a country kitchen with boots by the door. For pet lovers, and especially anyone who shares their home with a Labrador, it makes a thoughtful small gift, the kind that gets used every day and raises a smile each time. Each of the traits around the rim will ring true to anyone who has lived with the breed.
Being ceramic, it sits firm and flat on the table, and the matt finish gives the white a soft, chalky look rather than a glossy shine, which lets the fine linework of the drawing stand out. To keep it looking fresh, wipe it over with a damp cloth and dry it straight away; a soft dry cloth deals with everyday dust. We like it best at the corner of a desk or tucked beside a favourite armchair, ready for the first cup of the morning, and if you are giving it, a short note about the recipient's own dog makes it feel properly personal.
