Description

This ceramic coaster set is a union of functionality and artisanal qualities. If you believe the paper beermats pilfered from various bars, pubs, tavern you've visited; now stained and warped from continual use collecting dust on your countertop somehow emit a sense of style? We can assure you they do not.

The Capula Shield, 4-piece drink coaster set, has a simplistic Portuguese inspired azulejos pattern. Artisan Painted by hand with a mixture of cool Teal and soft Vanilla tones centered with a vibrant Red Patonce cross over a calm archaic-style pattern. Toss those boring cork pads in the trash and replace with finely artisan painted ceramic coasters. Each coaster is handmade to last a lifetime from kiln-fired durable ceramic, and equipped with a thick cork padding on the bottom to protect the surfaces throughout your home.

How It's Made

Each ceramic trivet/coaster goes through a double-high kiln-fire process.
The 1st bake allows the raw clay to cure and harden before individual tiles are hand-painted with lead-free glass compound natural paint.
The 2nd bake is done in a high-fire kiln with a glass compound protective glaze finish. This bake occurs in a high-fire gas powered kiln for several hours where temperatures reach 1800˚F. The intense heat creates a reaction where the glass compounds transform into a glossy protective glaze coat. Hand painted on all sides except the bottom.
Because tiles & coasters are individually hand-painted each piece will vary slightly from the next. These artisanal qualities impart authentic personality and wholly unique presence.
