HOW IS IT MADE?
The ceramic tiles are hanpainted with alcohol ink, then decorated and encased in transparent resin, giving it a glass effect and glossy finish. Each coaster is then additionally reinforced against high heat and scratches, making it more durable.
I finish by manually polishing the edges to gives it arefraction effect (yes, it's polished by hand).
The bottom part is corked to avoid sliding. The sticker encased inthe bottom is vinyl and is water and stain resistant.
In total - it takes about 4 days of work to make each coaster, and you need to add to it an extra week for the hardening of the resin and the ifnishings.
TAKING CARE:
It's safe for a mug of coffee or tea. I personally use them for my ceramic teapot as well, but please remember it's not a designed as a hot plate - do not put hot pots, or hot metal on top and do not microwave.
All of the products used are non-toxic and safe for serving food.
Hand cleaning only - please avoid the dishwasher. I recommend alcohol wipes for the resin.
