Handcrafted Wooden Tea Coasters – Kabir ke Dohe

Kabir's dohas paired with folk art — handcrafted on wooden coasters. Set of 6, heat-treated.

Kabir was a 15th-century poet-saint whose dohas — short, two-line couplets — cut through religious and social hierarchy with a directness that still lands today, quoted in Hindi households across generations. This coaster set pairs his verses with handcrafted wooden art, so each coaster carries a fragment of Kabir's philosophy along with the folk-art detailing around it.

It's an unusual gift in that it works on two levels at once — visual craft for the eye, and a piece of 600-year-old wisdom for anyone who actually reads the coaster before setting a cup down on it.

At EthniiChic, each piece is handcrafted by artists using decoupage techniques, then sealed, waterproofed, and heat-treated so it holds up to daily tea and coffee use rather than sitting purely decorative.

A frequent pick for housewarming, wedding, and festive gifting, and one of our most-loved pieces among NRI customers styling a coffee table, dining table, or work-from-home desk with a genuine piece of Indian craft.

Dimensions: Coaster: 8.8 cm x 8.8 cm. Set size: 11.2 cm x 11.2 cm x 6 cm.
Set: Set of 6 with stand

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these coasters heat-resistant and safe under hot cups?
Yes. Every coaster is heat-treated and sealed, so it can hold a hot cup of tea or coffee daily without damage to the handcrafted surface underneath.

How do I clean and care for handcrafted wooden coasters?
Wipe with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them, running them under a tap, using the dishwasher, or scrubbing with chemicals — this keeps the handcrafted finish looking new for years.

Do these coasters make good gifts?
Yes — this is one of our most-requested pieces for housewarming, wedding, and festive gifting, and a favourite among NRI customers gifting a piece of home. Each set comes with a matching stand, ready to hand over.

Who was Kabir, and what are his dohas?
Kabir was a 15th-century poet-saint whose dohas — short two-line couplets — cut through religious and social divides with a directness still quoted in Hindi households today.

Would the handcrafted design fade over time?
The sealant coat protects the artwork under normal daily use, and colours hold well for years with the simple care above; direct, prolonged sunlight will fade any hand-painted or dyed surface faster, so keep pieces out of direct window light where possible.
