Black Cat Coasters | Ceramic | Set of 4
Depending on where in the world you're standing, a black cat either means trouble is on its way, or that your luck is about to change for the better. In Ancient Egypt she was sacred — a living link to Bastet, protector of the home. British and Irish sailors once kept black cats aboard ship on purpose, convinced they brought safe passage and fair winds, while in Scotland a black cat turning up on the doorstep was taken as a sure sign of prosperity to come. In Japan, she's the maneki-neko in her most auspicious colour — a beckoning cat believed to draw in good fortune and, for the hopeful, a bit of luck in love as well. Only in parts of Western Europe did she pick up her more ominous reputation, cast as a witch's familiar and blamed for centuries of bad luck that was never really hers to carry.
Each of the four ceramic coasters in this set holds one of these luminous-eyed cats among peonies and swirling jewel tones — sleek, watchful, and quietly self-assured, exactly as she should be. A little bit of good fortune for the coffee table, whichever version of the legend you happen to believe. Finished with a cork backing to protect surfaces beneath.
