Redcurrants - hand-printed Tile Coaster
This hand-printed garden fruit marble tile coaster shows a hand-painted watercolour and fine liner illustration of branch from a redcurrant shrub. The plump round bright red berries grow tightly in small groups, surrounded by large bright green leaves. The background of this coaster has been left blank, so the natural cream stone texture of the marble gives an overall organic feel.

Designed & hand-printed in East London, Hackney
Made in the UK
In this originally hand-painted watercolour illustration slightly transparent bright red red currants are growing, surrounded by large light green leaves. The berries’ colour varies from a bright rusty orange-red to a deep burgundy red. The leaves colours flow from a deep khaki green to a strong grassy green and even a bright lime green at their tips.
The watercolour is broken up by white highlight spaces which in contrast with the black ink lines give the illustration a graphic and light touch. The stone’s cream coloured natural texture shines through the watercolours and harmonises with the fluid colour gradients. This redcurrant coaster makes the perfect Christmas gift or stocking filler for a forager and outdoor explorer.
Additional Design + Product Information
This garden fruit marble coaster is the ideal Christmas gift for a garden and fruit lover and adds an artistic and joyful touch to any dining and kitchen table. The coaster is very versatile and can be used to hold your freshly brewed coffee mug, a sweet summer drink or a small plant pot or vase. The marble tile underneath the printed floral design has a beautiful natural texture and rounded rustic edges. The print has been sealed with a protective tile varnish to protect the surface from heat, stains and water. The varnish has a slight satin finish. Hot cups and mugs can be placed onto the coaster without any worries, but it is recommended to be careful with hot oven trays, pots and pans. The cork backing prevents any table surfaces from getting scratched and holds the signature teal green AMPellegrini Art & Design logo, which has been ink-stamped with permanent waterproof ink.
Packaging + Postage

The hand-printing process is also done by Anna-Maria herself. Due to the handmade nature of this product and the rustic finish of the tile itself, not two coasters are exactly the same. The marble coaster is entirely Made in the UK - from sourcing the raw materials to the final print finish - and then carefully wrapped, packed and dispatched by Anna-Maria.
