Product Details

Handwoven grass coasters, coiled by hand from sun-dried natural grass in the eco-craft tradition of eastern India. Each round is spiralled and stitched tight. It stays firm enough to hold a hot cup, yet soft enough to spare the table beneath it. Made largely by rural women who turn a wild grass into everyday homeware, this is a small, biodegradable set for a table that would rather carry a story than a plastic mat.

Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations in colour, texture and dimension are natural and celebrate its handmade origin.

This is a table object that pulls its weight. Slip one under tea, coffee, or a cold glass, and the coiled grass takes the heat and the sweat so the wood or stone below stays clear of rings. The natural tone reads warm against ceramic, brass, and plain cloth. It asks for nothing and steadies everything.

They are useful past the dining table too. Keep a set at a work desk, a bedside, or a reading chair, and hand a few to guests when the cups come out. Stacked together, they tuck flat into a drawer between uses.

As a gift, a set is small but thoughtful. It suits a housewarming, a festive hamper, or a friend who is cutting plastic out of the home, and it scales cleanly into corporate or bulk gifting when a light, natural token fits the brief. Each set carries the work of the women who made it.

Care stays simple. Wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth, then let them air-dry fully before you stack them. Keep them clear of long soaks and open flame, and the coil holds its shape and colour for years.

In the rural belts of eastern India, across parts of Odisha, West Bengal, and Jharkhand, wild grass has long been coiled into rope, baskets, and mats. A coaster is the smallest form of that same skill. It begins in a field, not a factory.

The grass is cut, then sun-dried and sorted so that only even, flexible lengths go forward. Bundles of these strands become the core of the coil. The work is patient and entirely by hand.

Then the real technique shows. The maker winds the grass bundle into a tight flat spiral, round upon round, and stitches each round to the last with a binding strand so the disc holds firm under a full cup. The outer edge is closed off cleanly so it will not unravel. Where colour is added, it comes from safe, azo-free dyes rather than harsh chemicals.

Because every coil is wound and stitched by hand, no two coasters are quite the same. Slight shifts in the spiral are the signature of the maker. The grass keeps its own quiet, earthy colour, so the material carries the whole look.

What are these grass coasters made of?

These grass coasters are made of natural sun-dried grass, coiled and hand-stitched in the eco-craft tradition of eastern India. The grass is worked in its whole form rather than spun into thread. See the product specifications for the exact grass used in this set.

Are the coasters heat and water resistant?

The coasters handle everyday hot cups and light moisture, which is exactly what coiled grass mats were traditionally made for. The dense coil buffers heat and soaks up rings so the surface below stays protected. For very hot cookware, use a full trivet instead.

How do I clean and care for grass coasters?

To care for grass coasters, wipe them with a dry or lightly damp cloth and let them air-dry fully before stacking. Avoid soaking, machine washing, and open heat, all of which can weaken natural grass over time. Kept dry, a coiled set lasts for years.

How many coasters come in a set?

The number of coasters in a set is given in the product specifications, since woven-grass coasters are usually sold in sets of four or six. Each piece is coiled to the same size and finish. Check the specifications on this page for the exact count.

What makes these coasters eco-friendly?

These coasters are eco-friendly because they are made from a fast-growing wild grass, worked by hand with little processing and no plastic. Any colour comes from azo-free dyes rather than harsh chemicals. At the end of their life the coasters are fully biodegradable.

Will every coaster look exactly the same?

Every coaster is coiled and stitched by hand, so a set will match closely while varying slightly in spiral and tone. These small differences are the proof of handwork, not a defect. The size and shape stay consistent across the set.

Which material is best for coasters?

The best material for coasters depends on whether you want absorbency, heat buffering, or sustainability. Natural coiled grass scores well on look, grip, and eco-credentials, while ceramic or cork are more purely functional. A handwoven grass set brings craft and a livelihood story to an everyday object.

Who makes these coasters?

These coasters are made largely by rural women artisans in eastern India, where grass coiling has long been a home-based craft and source of income. Working through craft clusters, they turn a local wild grass into homeware. My E-Haat lists the partnering cluster on the product page where available.

Are these grass coasters a good corporate or festive gift?

These grass coasters make a strong corporate or festive gift because a set is light, useful, affordable, and carries a clear sustainability and livelihood story. They suit Diwali hampers, onboarding kits, and event giveaways. My E-Haat can help with larger quantities through corporate enquiry.

Is wheat grass the same as sabai grass?

Wheat grass is the name used here for the natural grass this set is woven from, while the wider grass-coaster craft of eastern India often uses sabai grass. The weaving and coiling method is broadly the same across these grasses. Check the product specifications for the exact grass in this set.
