A set of six coasters, each inlaid with mother of pearl petals radiating from the centre in a botanical, flower-like pattern, warm ivory and gold-flecked against a white base — with a matching holder inlaid in the same pattern, handcrafted in Chương Mỹ, Hanoi.

Please Note
Each coaster is individually handcrafted with hand-placed mother of pearl inlay by skilled artisans. Because of the handmade process and the natural characteristics of shell, slight variations in colour, inlay pattern, and shading are part of what makes every piece one of a kind.

Story

The Claire is a set of six mother-of-pearl coasters with a radiating botanical petal pattern, each 10cm in diameter. Named after the French word for light — claire — for the way the shell holds and moves light.

Made in Chương Mỹ, Hanoi. Each coaster's pattern is built from individual shell fragments, cut into petal shapes and set by hand into a white base until the full flower reads as one continuous form. The colour comes from the natural variation in the shell itself: cream, champagne gold, and warm ivory, flecked with gold.

Comes with a matching holder, inlaid in the same pattern. An exceptional housewarming or Christmas gift.

Care Instructions

Mother of pearl inlay asks little, and gives back a great deal.

  • Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth after use.
  • A damp glass or cup is fine — just avoid letting condensation or spills sit for extended periods, and wipe dry after use.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Do not place in a dishwasher or submerge in water.
  • Keep away from direct, sustained heat sources.

The surface will develop a subtle patina with use — this is natural and desirable, not a defect.

Handcrafted Artistry

Handcrafted Artistry

Individual shell fragments are cut into petals and set by hand into a white base, arranged so the pattern reads as one continuous flower rather than separate pieces.

The holder is made separately, inlaid to match the coasters, and designed to hold all six upright.

02 / The Materials

Organic Materials

Materials

Mother of pearl — the inner surface of ocean shells, cut into petal-shaped fragments and set by hand into a white base. The shell carries its own natural iridescence, shifting between cream, gold, and warm ivory depending on the light.

The natural colour variation between coasters in a set is a quality of the material — each fragment carries its own individual tone.

The Claire in Your Home

Six coasters named after light, kept together in a holder that matches the pattern. A gift that outlasts the occasion.

  • The Clear Coffee Table — six coasters in their holder, left out as a small object with significant presence.
  • The Housewarming Gift — boxed and complete, holder included. One of the most thoughtful gifts in the collection for a new home.
  • The Dining Table Set — six coasters, holder close by, for a table of six. The kind of detail that guests notice and ask about.
