Better Together Corkwood Coaster Set, Eucalyptus Wedding Gift

Cork takes the green of the eucalyptus in a warmer register than paper does, so the sprigs sit against the natural speckle of the material and the script reads a shade softer. Each coaster carries the artwork in miniature, rule and diamond included, sized so a glass covers the center and the greenery stays visible around the rim. Four on a table look composed rather than matched.

The backing grips, so they stay put when a glass is lifted rather than riding up with it. Corkwood absorbs condensation instead of pushing it onto the table, which is the point of cork in the first place. As a wedding gift the set solves the guest's problem of wanting to give something used daily without spending three figures; wood also suits a fifth anniversary.
