Description
This round ceramic drinks coaster brings a bit of farmyard humour to the table, with a sketch-style cow peering out beside the words "silly cow" in loose dark script. The cow has a tufty fringe, curved horns, soft pink ears and a big orange nose, with wide, slightly startled eyes and a dark patch on its shoulder, all drawn in fine sketchy lines and soft colour. The print sits on a clean white ground, so the face stands out clearly whether you look straight down at it or from across the room. It measures 10.3cm across and 0.6cm deep, a neat size that takes an everyday mug or a tumbler without crowding the table.
It is at home wherever a cup of tea or coffee gets put down: the kitchen table, a desk, a side table by the sofa or the bedside. The cheeky phrase and the cow's puzzled look are easy to smile at on a busy morning, and the soft sketchy style sits comfortably in a country kitchen, a farmhouse-style dining room or a bright modern home office. Because it is small and flat, it also makes a fun, cheerful little present, easy to slip into a gift bag alongside a favourite mug or a box of tea.
The coaster is made of ceramic with a printed finish across the top, and the underside has a speckled brown backing inside a thin white rim, so it sits flat on the table. To keep the print looking fresh, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft towel, rather than soaking it. We like it on a desk, where it brings a smile to a coffee break, and it looks just as good propped on a kitchen shelf between uses, the cow's face turned out to greet whoever comes in for the kettle.
