A heart-closing vine engraved into square slate. The square is the shape to take if the wording matters as much as the design, because it is the only slate format that does not take area away from the text.
A circle of the same width loses its corners, and a heart loses the bottom half of its width to the taper. The square keeps all of it, which means a longer line can be set at a readable size rather than shrunk to fit. Two names with a date beneath, or a family name with a year, works here and starts to struggle on the other two shapes.
The design is made of thin strokes, and thin strokes are where materials show their differences. Slate has no grain, so the line holds an even weight from one end to the other, and engraving exposes pale grey under the dark face, which is a far stronger contrast than cutting brown wood produces. The vine is visible from standing height rather than only on close inspection.
Square slate is the heaviest of the three shapes, since nothing has been removed from the blank. It sits still under a glass, takes condensation without absorbing it, and is harder than any of the woods, so it should be lifted rather than dragged across a polished table. Backing pads keep the stone clear of the surface and stop it sliding when a glass is lifted off it, which is worth more on a heavy piece than on a light one.
Cut rather than printed, so the design does not lift or fade with use, and sold singly or in sets with four or six the usual order. Each piece is split rather than milled, so the edges are riven and the face varies slightly in tone between coasters. Our designers set the wording and confirm it reads at size before anything is cut, which is the step that catches a line nobody will be able to read across a table. The same vine is cut in round and heart slate, and in bamboo, cherry, acacia and walnut, where the cut is brown on brown and reads as texture rather than as a drawing. A metal holder keeps a set upright on a worktop.
