Description
This square slate coaster carries a wry little joke in pale grey lettering: my relationship with whisky is on the rocks. The words mix bold capitals with looping script, with ROCKS set inside a plaque-style panel and a curling flourish beneath, all against the deep black of the slate. It measures 10cm across each way and 1cm deep, a size that comfortably takes a tumbler, a wine glass or a mug. The edges are left rough rather than polished, giving the square a rugged outline that suits the old-fashioned lettering.
It belongs wherever a drink is set down: beside a favourite armchair, on a home bar, a sideboard or a desk where the day ends with a nightcap. The pun works best where people gather, and it tends to get a laugh the moment a guest puts a glass on it. Black and grey sit easily with dark wood, leather and brass, and just as well in a brighter, modern room, while the square shape lines up neatly on a shelf or a tray. As a gift it needs no explanation: the joke does the work, and a slate coaster is something that gets used every day rather than tucked away in a drawer.
The coaster is a single flat square of slate, 1cm deep, so it sits steady on a table and gives a glass a firm, level base. The lettering stands out in soft grey against the black face, easy to read from across a table. Looking after it is simple: wipe it with a damp cloth after use, let it dry fully, and dust it with a soft dry cloth between times, as you would any slate. We like it set out on a tray beside a bottle and a heavy tumbler, or wrapped alongside a favourite bottle as a gift that raises a smile.
