Coral for red. Malachite for green. Mother-of-pearl for white. Each piece is cut to fit its recess by hand, then pressed into place in white Makrana marble. The artisan making these coasters can trace his lineage directly to those workshops.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Agra by artisans who carry the pietra dura tradition in an unbroken line from the craftsmen who inlaid the Taj Mahal's interior chambers, these handcrafted white marble coasters are set with semi-precious stones: coral, malachite, mother-of-pearl, each piece cut and fitted by hand into the Makrana marble base. The technique has not changed because it does not need to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the table, these coasters protect surfaces in the way any coaster does. But their weight, their specific coldness to the touch, the way light catches each inlaid stone differently, these are qualities that belong to an object of a different order than the functional. Place a glass down. Lift it.
