Coaster - Vigilant

Tumbled marble coaster with an image of the ship painting Vigilant, 1893.  William Formby Halsall. Coaster measures 4" x 4" and has a cork backing. From the vast collection of Maritime art at the Peabody Essex Museum. --- Studio Vertu works primarily with tumbled Botticino marble.  This particular rock is chosen for its lack of veins and lines so the printed image is not distracted by what Mother Nature provides us.  Each piece of rock is examined by our artisans before the printing process begins.  That being said, you should still expect to see the imperfections that nature provide; small nicks, dings and fissions are to be expected – like with fine raw silk they add to the unique beauty of the product.
