A coaster goes under a drinking glass to protect a tabletop from condensation and drips of beverage slipping down the side. A trivet holds a very hot dish some distance above the tabletop or linen, to avoid heat damage to that surface.

A coaster can also be called a tea trivet, serving the same purpose in a smaller size for cups and mugs. Otherwise, trivets come in usually a bigger size, made for pots, bowls, pans, and plates.

The coasters/trivets are made with fine quality ceramic that is fade-resistant and scratch-free. The vibrancy of the coasters/trivets is guaranteed with a long-time service, making them worth the price.

The coasters/trivets can simply be wiped with a cotton towel or napkin. The textures on their surface can be cleaned easily without letting the dust enter the cavities. To maintain their gloss, a wipe with a little amount of water is suggested after every use.

Absolutely! The trivets that are 7-9 inches in size can be used as a platter for appetizers, desserts, snacks, and munchies, served on special occasions like birthdays, housewarmings, anniversaries, weddings, or other festivities, and ceremonies. They can also be used as a cheese board for wine tasting, brunch, or luncheon.
