Beautiful artisan-crafted drink coasters with Day of the Dead flare.

Our hand-painted Novios or "Lovers" coaster set is the authentic Valentines Day gift, newlyweds gift, lovely gift for your sweetheart, and/or just an artistic protector for the finely finished surfaces of your home. The artwork of this coaster set is inspired by the Day of the Dead Dia de los Muertos and other vintage-era folk art from Central Mexico. Made from dense and durable ceramic that is kiln fired with a protective glaze.  

All coasters are packaged as 4-piece sets; individual coasters are fitted with cork padding on the bottom. Safe for high heat/kitchen use. The Bride and Groom coasters are part of our Catrina coasters collection. Shop the entire unique collection.

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.
