How it's made
Cloth, cord, clay or stone is chosen by hand for grain, weight and character before work begins.
The piece is cut, shaped or formed by an artisan, working to the exact design by hand.
Detailing, embellishment or finishing work — beading, printing, painting or stitching — is added by hand.
Every piece is checked by hand before it leaves Ahmedabad, so small natural variations are seen, not hidden.
The quietest thing on the table, and somehow the one guests pick up. Table Companions are four round coasters cut from white marble, each with the stone's own grey veining running through it: no two alike, because no two pieces of marble are. They sit under the chai, the coffee, the evening glass, and keep every surface they meet unmarked.
| Set | Four round marble coasters |
| Height | 3 cm |
| Weight | 1 kg (set of 4) |
| Material | Natural white marble, hand-cut and polished smooth |
| Finish | Softly rounded edge, natural grey veining unique to each piece |
| Use | Hot and cold drinks; also lovely under a small vase or candle |
| Care | Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry. This keeps the polish best. Dishwasher safe. Avoid acidic spills (lime, vinegar) sitting on the stone. |
| Good to know | Marble is a natural stone — veining and tone vary piece to piece. That variation is the point. |
Marble has done quiet service in Indian homes for generations, thandai glasses on marble slabs, mithai set out on stone thalis that kept everything cool. Table Companions carry that habit forward at the scale of a coaster: stone cut and polished by hand, made to take the heat of a tumbler and the sweat of a cold glass without complaint, and to look better on the table than anything that busy ever should.
| With the stone | The Quiet Table Marble Tray completes the marble pair — tray for the pot, coasters for the cups. |
| For chai hour | Under the Saanjh Cups: Indigo brushwork on cool white stone. |
| On the desk | One under the work coffee, next to a Katha Fabric Diary. |

Natural stone carries its own veining, tone and weight; these variations make every piece distinct.
