Description
This square stoneware coaster carries Freddy's bladed hand, printed in bold red on a deep black ground. The hand rises from the lower edge, its four fingers stretching into long, curved blades, and the palm and fingers are built entirely from lines of lettering. At the wrist the words Never Sleep Again stand out in the largest letters, before the print breaks into a ragged splash at the base. The red has a worn, distressed texture, a little like an old cinema poster, which keeps the design gritty rather than clean-cut. The face measures 10cm across on each side and the coaster is 0.5cm thick, so it sits low and flat.
We like it under a morning mug of tea on a desk, a glass on a side table in the lounge, or a drink beside the sofa on film night. The square shape lines up neatly with the edge of a table or shelf, and the dark ground looks at home on black, grey or dark wooden furniture. Kept by a stack of films, it also works as a small piece of décor between drinks, a quiet nod to the film for anyone who spots it. With a 10cm face, it takes most everyday mugs and tumblers comfortably.
Stoneware gives the coaster a firm, hard surface, and at 0.5cm thick it is slim enough to tuck into a drawer when the table needs clearing. To keep the print looking its best, wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, and clear away spills rather than leaving them to sit. For a film night, set it beside the snacks with the blades pointing towards the screen, or wrap it with a favourite mug and a bar of chocolate as a small, easy gift that needs no explaining.
