Description
This square slate coaster carries a cheerful boast in soft grey lettering across its black face: "This legend aged perfectly", followed by "been there, done that and proud of it". The words are laid out like an old-fashioned label, with ribbon banners, curling scrolls and small wheat sprigs framing the bold LEGEND at the centre. It measures 10cm across each way and 1cm thick, a size that sits comfortably under a mug, a tumbler or a short glass. The edges are left rugged and uneven, the way slate splits naturally, so the black stone keeps its own rough character around the neat lettering.
It belongs wherever a drink is set down: beside a favourite armchair, on a desk in the study, on a bedside table or along the bar of a home pub corner. The dark slate and grey lettering sit happily with wood, leather and darker furnishings, and look at home on a kitchen worktop. Because the message is the whole point, it makes a good-humoured gift for anyone who has earned the word legend, something to raise a smile every time a cup comes down on it. It is just as easy to keep for yourself, a small piece of fun that does a useful job every day.
The coaster is cut from slate with a flat face, so a cup or glass rests level, and the square shape gives a little room around the base. Slate is a natural material, so expect small variations in texture and edge. To keep it looking its best, wipe it over with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and dust it with a soft dry cloth between uses. Set it out on a side table with a favourite mug, or wrap it with a bag of good coffee or a bottle of something special for a gift ready to enjoy the moment it is opened.
