A slate coaster engraved with a single sage sprig beside your own text, in a square format. A slate coaster set reads darker on a table than any of the woods. Slate is the fourth material we cut coasters from, and it behaves differently enough from the three woods to be a separate decision rather than a variation.
Engraving works by removing the surface, and on slate what is underneath is pale grey against a dark charcoal face. That is a far bigger difference than brown-on-brown, which is what engraving a wood produces. A sprig cut into slate reads from across a room where the same design on bamboo has to be looked for. If legibility is what you want, stone beats every wood we cut.
Slate is a split stone rather than a milled one. The face has slight natural variation in tone and texture, and the edges are riven rather than sawn, so no two coasters in a set are identical. People who want uniformity should take bamboo. People who want each coaster to look like a piece of stone should take this.
The square is the heaviest of the three slate shapes, since nothing has been cut off the corners. Stone is cold to the touch and stays cold, so a slate coaster takes condensation off a glass noticeably better than wood does. It is also harder than wood and will mark a soft table if dragged rather than lifted. The backing pads keep the stone off the surface and stop it sliding when a glass is lifted, which matters more on stone than on wood because the piece is heavier.
Cut rather than printed, so the design is permanent and will not lift the way a printed surface does once it has met a hot mug a few hundred times. Sold singly or as a set, with four or six the usual order. A name, two names or a date is the right length: the sprig sits beside the text and a long line has to be set small. Our designers place the wording and confirm it reads before anything is cut.
The same design is made in round and heart slate, and in bamboo, cherry, acacia and walnut. A metal holder keeps a stack upright on a worktop. In slate we also cut a floral ring, a heart-closing vine, a laurel wreath and two sprouts.
