These wonderful coasters are handmade from one piece of ancient Opus 1 grapevine, cut sequentially to make a set. I'm the only one in the world who makes these and I can tell you why: its a pain in the rear! They're a wonderful complement to any home or business. What better way to honor your wine than perching it on a piece of its own glorious history? The grape vines are dried for up to 8 years to insure they are dry then kiln fired, hand cut, sanded and sealed with 3 coats of all natural organic food grade Tung oil to highlight all the decades of growth and preserve your beautiful art for generations to come. The coaster set is tied in raffia and wrapped in tissue before being carefully packed in a box. Already wrapped as a gift, it's perfect for any holiday or special occasion. We can even mail it directly to your special someone with a personal note from you. Picture this in your kitchen or wine cellar. Big enough to make a statement, it's small enough to fit in any wine lovers home and makes a fabulous gift. INCLUDES: Set of 4 coasters plus extra goodies from the shop, my treat! DIMENSIONS: Approx. 4"-5" diameter x 5/8" thick. MATERIALS: Retired California grapevines. SHIPPING: Free shipping to the contiguous United States. Additional shipping charges are required for orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and all international destinations. Send us a message with your address for an estimate.

It's pretty amazing what happens in our shop. Thanks for visiting! Michael All our products are carefully handmade using 100% recycled materials. They are individually handcrafted, one of a kind creations, and not factory manufactured. It is therefore quite difficult to make identical items. Our attentive artisans make every effort to create only the best from materials with natural variations that should not be misconstrued as flaws. These make each piece of a handmade product charming and unique. The pictures may not be identical to the product you receive. It's probably even more awesome!

For Vinya - Alionza - Old Vine Grapevine Coffee TableWe enjoyed our custom made grapevine coffee table until we discovered it was infested with wood-eating beetles. An exterminator confirmed these beetles reside in the wood. The table was not salvageable and the bugs destroyed the rug beneath the table. The maker refused to respond to my request for remediation. Before considering spending thousand of dollars on any product from this maker, I strongly urge you to take heed of the following response from Custom Made Support: "The listing clearly stated that the product is made from recycled materials. As such the maker had no way of knowing that the materials used to create your table were infested with bugs."

For Bordeaux - Grapevine Salt And Pepper GrindersAll went fine, except that it isn't clear which grinder is for salt and which is for pepper. The one with the black grinding handle has plastic grinder parts, which makes us think it should be for salt. The one with the chrome grinding handle has metal grinder parts, which makes us think it should be for pepper. If this is correct, it seems odd to use chrome for pepper and black for salt.
