This set of four ceramic coasters, part of our World Heritage Coaster Collection, takes inspiration from Mexican Amate art, a folk tradition known for colorful scenes filled with animals, plants, village life, and the natural world. This collection follows the changing seasons through the Amate tree, from the fresh beginnings of spring to the quiet rest of winter.
Spring (La Primavera)
A budding Amate tree flourishes alongside courting tropical birds, blooming marigolds, and peaceful deer. Rendered in soft greens and magenta blossoms, it celebrates rebirth, new beginnings, and planting.
Summer (El Verano)
A full-canopy Amate tree heavy with fruit is surrounded by drinking hummingbirds, swarming bees, and radiant sunbeams. Cast in deep emerald and sun-yellow, it symbolizes abundance, warmth, and vitality.
Autumn (El Otoño)
The grand tree frames a joyful village celebration with folk musicians, dancers, and birds carrying harvest crops. Rich in marigold yellow and crimson, it represents gratitude, community, and fruitful yields.
Winter (El Invierno)
An Amate tree rests beneath a glowing crescent moon and starfield, sheltering a perched owl, sleeping rabbits, and fireflies. Set in cool indigo and pale gold, it embodies tranquility, rest, and peaceful reflection.
