Vintage Worcester Ware Rose Coaster Set - Boxed Mid Century Charm
This is a rather delightful boxed set of six Worcester Ware cocktail mats - round metal tops with cork backs - each one bearing a bright, painterly rose in yellow, red, or pink.
The colours are wonderfully mid century in spirit, that unmistakable 1950s to 1970s palette where domestic design cheerfully embraced florals with gusto.
Worcester Ware, ever the stalwart of British household goods, produced countless decorative tin pieces during the mid 20th century, and these coasters are very much part of that story - practical, affordable, and quietly stylish.
Each mat measures about 3.5 inches in diameter (roughly 9 cm), a pleasing size that sits well beneath a glass without dominating the table.
The printed tin tops are in very good condition with no scratches to the surface, and the cork backs remain firm and tidy. They are very good!
They come in their original clear plastic and card box, which has done a fine job of keeping them together over the decades.
There is something rather cheering about a set like this - a small burst of colour, a nod to postwar optimism, and a reminder that even the humblest household object can carry a little design history.
In v. good order with no damage.
I have taken plenty of photos to allow you to judge the condition so please take a moment to study them too.
The approximate dimensions again are as follows:
Diameter – 3.5 inches / 9 cm
Shown with a bottle of Champagne to give you an idea of scale.
