Innovation turned that initial protective padding into high-quality coasters, table mats and trays that have graced tabletops and beverage trays for close to a century.  At some point in the company's early history, Margaret Atkinson lent artistic sensibility to the process by hand-printing designs to create Pimpernel pieces that were not only durable and practical in composition but also beautiful in aesthetic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to protect surfaces, delicate linens, and wood veneers, and also hold up to the hustle bustle of lively home life, Pimpernel continues to create these dependable long-lasting table pieces that have held up day after day, party after party for decades without losing their color or smooth matte finish. An example of their expert attention to detail lies in this vintage set of seven coasters, which were made  during the 1980s and 1990s and still look practically brand-new 40 years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade with melamine and UV- stable pigments and backed with durable cork, Pimpernel coasters are impervious to stains and spills and easily wipe clean. So whether you are serving a new bottle of your favorite red wine, endless cups of coffee for a crowd, or enjoying a colorful cocktail, you can rest assured any spills or sloshes on your new vintage coasters will clean up in easy breezy fashion.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e{SPECIAL FEATURES}\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching set of seven coasters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCork backed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors include cream, gold, ivory, nectarine, mint, pine, and  celadon\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e{CONDITION}\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn beautiful vintage condition, these coasters contain no spots, stains, scratches or chipped areas. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e{SIZE}\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach coaster measures just a smidge under 4.25\" inches x 4.25\" inches.
