BLACK, BLUE & GOLD COASTER SET IN BOX + BELL, PAINTED TO RESEMBLE CLOISSONE VINTAGE, FELT BASES. 6 COASTERS, 2 PIECE COASTER STORAGE BOX, 1 BELL W/ BRASS BELL KNOCKER. BOX 4.25", COASTER 3.5", BELL BASE 2". EAST INDIA, ASIA, BAR DRINKS & DINNER ENTERTAINING. LIGHT WOOD PAINTED BLACK, WITH BLUE AND GOLD LACQUER FLORAL DESIGNS. THESE ARE MADE OUT OF A LIGHT WOOD--I THINK IT MAY BE SOME KIND OF PRESSED WOOD. I SEE THESE SOMETIMES LISTED AS PAPIER MACHE...BUT I DON'T THINK THEY ARE. MORE OF A LACQUER, CHINTZ TYPE APPLICATION. THE PIECES WERE THEN PAINTED BLACK. THEN THE BLUE AND GOLD FLORAL DESIGN DECORATIONS WERE LACQUERED ON TOP OF THAT. THE COASTERS HAVE BLUE FELT ON THE BOTTOMS. 1 FELT IS MISSING. THESE SIX COASTERS FIT VERY NICE AND NEATLY INSIDE THE BOX. I HAD THIS SET FOR MANY YEARS (20+), THEN FOUND THE MATCHING BELL AT AN ESTATE SALE. IT IS THE SAME PATTERN AS THE COASTERS, BUT THE PAINT IS A LIGHTER COLOR (MAY BE SUN DAMAGE OR NATURAL FADING?). SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY COOL AND AM SELLING THEM TOGETHER. THERE ARE SEVERAL SMALL CHIPS ON THE EDGES OF THE BLACK PAINT. IF YOU WANTED TO COVER I WOULD DO A DAB OF BLACK NAIL POLISH. BELL HAS CROME RINGER SUSPENDED. PRETTY JUST TO HAVE AROUND OR TO CAREFULLY PUT OUT FOR GUESTS. THE WOOD STILL SMELLS OF YOUR AVERAGE IMPORTS STORE, NAG CHAMPA AND AMBER. #BEAUTIFULMERMAIDQUEEN, #DAWNETTSEMPORIUM, #SHAUNALYNNSFOOD.
