About This Design
Strawberry Thief (by William Morris) Stone Coaster
This design is based on a pattern created by British designer William Morris (1834–1896), who is especially well known and regarded for his association with the Arts and Crafts Movement. Strawberry Thief is one of William Morris' most popular repeating designs for textiles. The pattern takes as its subject the thrush birds that Morris found stealing fruit in the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott Manor, in Oxfordshire. The pattern was originally printed using the indigo discharge method, an ancient technique that had been used for many centuries mostly in the East. Morris admired the depth of colour and crisp detail that it produced. William Morris first attempted to print by this method in 1875 but it was not until 1881, when he moved into his factory at Merton Abbey, near Wimbledon, that he finally succeeded. The entire process would have taken days to complete and it was for this reason that it was one of Morris & Co.'s most expensive cottons. Nonetheless, customers were not put off by the expensive cost, and Strawberry Thief proved to be one of Morris' most commercially successful patterns. The pattern's beauty and elegance is still greatly appreciated today.

Creator Review
Beyond expectations, the photo was perfectly reproduced on the stone and the stone texture made it something special. A quality product. As a photographer, I am very aware of print quality, and this product clearly met my high expectations.

I have received many compliments on these coasters and they have withheld very well with extreme heat from a mug and the condensation from a glass without ruining any of my wood surfaces. The print actually turned out exactly like the photo.

I had been looking for coasters in stores for a while now. So glad when I found these coasters. I made a set of six using my own photos. The travertine was exactly what I had wanted for the "old world" effect and adding my favorite photos made them simply perfect! The quality of the photo on the travertine coaster was even better than I had expected.
