Set of four square coasters hand-carved from mango wood, each surface covered in a spreading lotus vine pattern under a whitewashed glaze. The lotus is a long-standing symbol of growth, balance, and gradual awakening. Slip them under mugs, teacups, or glasses at the shared table, or give as a housewarming gift.

Details

Design: Dense lotus vine motif hand-carved in relief, finished with a whitewashed glaze that settles into the grooves and lets natural wood show on the raised petals and stems
Size: Each coaster measures approximately 4" x 4"
Material: Mango wood
Included: Set of 4 matching coasters
Care: Wipe clean with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid soaking, submerging, or the dishwasher to protect the carved detail and finish
Origin: Hand-carved by fairtrade artisans in India
Note: Slight variations in grain, tone, and finish are natural to hand-carved work and part of each coaster's character

Meaning & Intention

The lotus is one of the most enduring symbols in Eastern spiritual traditions, valued for a simple truth: it pushes up through murky pond water and opens, unstained, into a clean bloom.

In Buddhist and Hindu iconography, it is tied to purity of mind, the unfolding of consciousness, and the patience real transformation asks for. Its layered petals are sometimes read as the stages of awakening, opening one at a time.

Carved here as a spreading vine, the motif becomes something handled daily rather than displayed, a small nod to grounded growth brought into ordinary moments at the table.

Questions & Guidance

Are they safe under hot and cold drinks?

Yes. They are made as functional coasters for everyday mugs, teacups, and glasses, protecting surfaces from moisture rings and heat marks.

Do they work as a housewarming gift?

A set of four suits a shared table, and the lotus's association with fresh growth and new beginnings fits a new home, a first apartment, or a milestone move.

How can I bring an intention into using them?

Pause for a breath as you set a cup down and repeat the suggested mantra, or simply let the carved lotus catch your eye between sips as a moment to slow the pace.
