The designs include Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado, Williamsburg Va (two matching coasters), The Butchart Gardens, Mount Rushmore National Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and a Nebraska state flower floral coaster. These were made in Japan and carry original paper labels and a stamped mark on the reverse.

Condition:
These coasters present well and remain usable. The glass tops are intact with the scenic and floral prints clearly visible. The mirrored/foil backs show scratches, dark spotting, cloudiness and light tarnish consistent with age and use. A couple of coasters retain their original green Made in Japan paper stickers, and one reverse is stamped MADE IN JAPAN. There is some minor loss and fading to portions of the printed images. No cracks in the glass are noted, though the pieces are untested for any hidden hairlines. This is honest vintage wear on a decorative souvenir 3.5 in diameter each (estimated). Please ask for exact measurements.

The pierced chrome rims and under-glass prints give them a retro cocktail-hour charm that suits a mid-century modern bar cart, a vintage kitchen or a curated collection. They also make a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves Rocky Mountain National Park, Mount Rushmore, Williamsburg, the Butchart Gardens or Nebraska. Display them, collect them or use them to protect your tabletop in vintage style.
