How It's Made

Each trivet is hand painted in a different color combination (Lime, Turquoise, Yellow, & Orange). The artwork that is hand-painted on each trivet was adapted from vintage era Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada.

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.

Artisan Story
The Inspiration Behind Our Retro Muertos Coasters

This authentic trivet / coaster set is a Zenwaro signature design. Fusing retro lucent colors with art of vintage era Mexico is perfectly fitting for this trivet set. Part Andy Warhol, part Day of the Dead an old twist to an essential modern era home accessory. The original Catrina artwork on each trivet was adapted from José Guadalupe Posada (the father of the Catrina). ”La Calavera Catrina" was originally sketched in 1888 by one of Mexico’s first & most infamous satirical cartoonist José Guadalupe Posada.

The artwork of this coaster set is inspired by Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead and other vintage era folk art from Central Mexico. Check out our fascinating blog series that explores the history and the beauty that this celebration represents. Read more>>
