Madhubani Handcrafted Round Wooden Tea Coasters – Fish Black & White

Madhubani fish motif, Bihar — handcrafted in black and white on round coasters. Set of 6.

Madhubani painting, from Bihar's Mithila region, has traditionally been done by women, passed from mother to daughter, and often features the fish as a motif for fertility, luck, and abundance. This round coaster set renders that fish in stark black and white — a departure from Madhubani's usual vivid, multi-coloured palette, letting the fine linework itself take centre stage.

Monochrome makes this a versatile, adaptable piece — it sits comfortably in interiors that don't lean toward bright, saturated folk colour but still want the tradition's intricate detailing.

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.

Material: Medium density engineered wood with decoupage art, waterproofed and heat-treated.
Dimensions: Diameter: 9.5 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.

What is Madhubani painting?
Madhubani is a folk art from Bihar's Mithila region, traditionally practiced by women and passed from mother to daughter, known for fine linework and motifs like fish, lotus, and nature in harmony.

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.
