Handmade Coaster | Beige

In many homes across Uttar Pradesh, needlework has always been more than a pastime. Women often gathered in the afternoons, stitching small yet meaningful household pieces while sharing stories and passing skills from one generation to the next. Among these creations were hand-embroidered coasters—made not for display alone, but for daily use during family tea times and festive gatherings. This Handmade Embroidered Coaster carries that quiet tradition forward, turning a simple table essential into a piece of living craft.

Cultural Significance and Tradition

Coasters in Indian households were traditionally handcrafted to protect wooden surfaces from hot cups and glasses, while also adding charm to the table. Embroidery motifs often reflected daily life—cups, flowers, or geometric patterns—stitched with patience and care. This coaster, featuring a delicate cup motif, reflects the warmth of shared conversations, making it especially suited for parties and social occasions where details matter.

The Hand Embroidery Process

Each coaster begins with a sturdy base fabric selected for durability and texture. Skilled artisans then hand-stitch the design using fine threads, carefully forming the embroidered cup motif. Every stitch is placed manually, allowing slight variations that highlight human craftsmanship. The process takes time, focus, and practiced hands, ensuring the coaster is not only decorative but also functional for everyday use.

Slight variations make each piece unique

The warmth and depth of hand embroidery cannot be replicated by automated processes.
