Set/6 Coasters - Rosellas

These lacquerware coasters are part of a cross‑cultural project, designed in Australia and handmade in Kashmir using traditional paper maché and lacquerware techniques. Each piece passes through many stages: recycled paper is pulped, moulded, dried, finely sanded, hand‑painted, and sealed with layers of protective lacquer for a smooth, durable finish.

Every coaster features a soft felt base to protect surfaces, and the full set of six fits neatly inside the matching hand‑painted box — a functional and beautiful addition to any home.

Rosellas are members of the Platycercus genus, meaning broad tail. Australia has eight species and many varieties. Confined to coastal and mountainous regions, some species have adapted to urban environments in areas where native vegetation is grown in domestic gardens. They add much colour and life. Rosellas need cavities in trees to nest in.

Individual coasters measure approx. 8.5cm x 8.5cm.
