The Man The Myth The Legend Square Slate Coaster - Black

This square slate coaster brings a little good-humoured swagger to the table, with grey engraved lettering set against its black face. The main words read 'The Man, The Myth, The Legend' in bold vintage-style capitals, framed by curling scrollwork, with two smaller lines of praise beneath and a banner across the foot reading 'One of a Kind'. It measures 10cm square and 1cm thick, so there is room for a mug, a tumbler or a short glass to sit squarely on it, and the slate keeps its rough, natural-looking edges for a rugged, characterful look.

It earns its place wherever a drink gets put down: beside the armchair in the living room, on a desk in the study, on a bedside table or along the bar at home. Because the wording does all the talking, it makes an easy, ready-made gift for someone whose friends and family already call them a legend, and it brings a smile each time a cup of tea or an evening drink lands on it. The dark slate sits well with wood, leather and metal, so it looks at home in a traditional room or a more modern one.

The grey engraved lettering contrasts clearly with the dark stone, and the flat face gives a steady base for a glass or mug. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and let it dry fully before putting it away, and dust it now and then with a dry cloth. We think it works best kept where it will be used every day, on the desk or by the favourite chair, rather than tucked in a drawer. For a gift, wrap it with a favourite mug, a bag of good coffee or a bottle of something to share, and its message will do the rest.
