Religious Icon Coasters
These are six circular coasters depicting religious iconography, likely Russian Orthodox in style. Each coaster features a different saint or religious scene rendered in vibrant colours and intricate detail. The artwork appears to be hand-painted, showcasing a traditional folk art aesthetic. These coasters would have originally been used to protect surfaces from moisture while displaying devotional imagery.
Condition and Collectibility
The coasters exhibit signs of age and use, with some minor wear and possible fading to the paint. Despite this, the imagery remains largely intact and visually striking. These coasters are of interest to collectors of religious art, Russian folk art, or vintage ephemera. Their unique combination of functionality and devotional imagery makes them a charming and unusual collectible.
