In this originally hand-painted illustration, the bright orange and yellow leopard lacewing is gently resting on a bright pink garden flower. The leopard lacewing gets his name from the black and white spots on his wings, which in combination with the bright yellow and deep orange give him an exotic look. The butterfly is surrounded by some garden leaves and a branch full of delicate white cherry blossoms growing in from once of the corners. The fading out of the light green watercolour gradient in the background lets the natural marble texture shine through and it gives the appearance, the butterfly has been painted directly onto the stone. This joyful butterfly coaster makes an excellent stocking filler for nature and garden lovers.
Additional Design + Product Information
This butterfly marble coaster makes a great Christmas gift for a garden and butterfly lover and adds an artistic and joyful touch to any dining and kitchen table. The coaster is very versatile and can be used to hold your freshly brewed coffee mug, a sweet summer drink or a small plant pot or vase. The marble tile underneath the printed floral design has a beautiful natural texture and rounded rustic edges. The print has been sealed with a protective tile varnish to protect the surface from heat, stains and water. The varnish has a slight satin finish. Hot cups and mugs can be placed onto the coaster without any worries, but it is recommended to be careful with hot oven trays, pots and pans. The cork backing prevents any table surfaces from getting scratched and holds the signature teal green AMPellegrini Art & Design logo, which has been ink-stamped with permanent waterproof ink.
