Description

Kolam art, Tamil Nadu — hand-painted on wooden coasters. Set of 6, heat-treated and waterproofed.

Kolam is drawn fresh every morning outside Tamil homes — geometric patterns made from rice flour at the threshold, meant to welcome guests and, traditionally, feed ants and small creatures before the day begins. It's swept away by evening and redrawn the next dawn, a ritual that exists only in the moment. This coaster set fixes that same geometric linework permanently onto wood.

The white-on-dark contrast here keeps close to how an actual rice-flour kolam looks against a swept stone or mud threshold — the most traditional read of the motif, for anyone who wants it exactly as it appears at the doorstep.

At EthniiChic, each piece is hand-painted by artisans using traditional decoupage techniques, then sealed, waterproofed, and heat-treated so it holds up to daily tea and coffee use rather than sitting purely decorative. Every piece carries small natural variations in line and colour — the mark of handwork, not a defect.

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 hand-painted surface underneath.

How do I clean and care for hand-painted 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 hand-painted finish looking new for years.

Are these coasters hand-painted or printed?
Hand-painted. Every piece passes through an artisan's hands, so small variations in line and colour are part of the craft, not a manufacturing flaw.

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.

What is Kolam art?
Kolam is a geometric pattern traditionally drawn with rice flour at the threshold of Tamil homes every morning — meant to welcome prosperity and guests, and redrawn fresh each day.

Is each coaster exactly identical, and will the hand-painted design fade over time?
No two pieces are perfectly identical — small variations in line and colour are part of hand-painting, not a flaw. 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.
