Birds of New Zealand Slate Coaster Set – A Touch of Kiwiana Elegance
Celebrate the beauty of New Zealand’s extraordinary birdlife with the Birds of New Zealand Slate Coaster Set. Designed for those who appreciate both nature and craftsmanship, these premium coasters feature intricately laser-etched photos of four of Aotearoa’s most beloved native birds. Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee or hosting guests, they offer a sophisticated way to display your Kiwi pride while protecting your surfaces.
Handcrafted from natural slate, each coaster has a unique, rugged texture with subtle variations, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike.

Durable and hardwearing, these coasters are designed to withstand daily use while maintaining their timeless appeal.
This exclusive set features four carefully selected native birds, each representing the charm, spirit, and heritage of New Zealand. The playful and agile fantail, or pīwakawaka, is known for its friendly nature and distinctive fanned tail, symbolising adaptability and joy. The kea, the world’s only alpine parrot, is renowned for its intelligence and cheeky personality, embodying the adventurous spirit of New Zealand. The tui, a bold and charismatic songbird with a distinctive white throat tuft, is celebrated for its melodic calls and striking iridescent plumage. Completing the set is the kiwi, the treasured national icon of New Zealand, representing uniqueness, resilience, and deep cultural significance.
Each coaster measures 10cm x 10cm, making them the perfect size for everything from coffee cups to wine glasses. Their natural grip and non-slip base ensure stability while keeping your furniture safe from moisture and heat. Thoughtfully packaged, they make elegant gifts for any occasion, whether for a proud Kiwi, a lover of New Zealand wildlife, or someone who appreciates beautifully crafted homeware. Ideal for housewarmings, birthdays, or special celebrations, they are a timeless keepsake that combines practicality with artistic charm.
Bring a touch of Aotearoa into your home with these exquisite slate coasters, where nature meets craftsmanship in perfect harmony.
Please note:
- Slate is a natural material, and its variations or imperfections are inherent characteristics that enhance its beauty rather than being considered defects. Each stone slab is formed over millions of years, carrying unique textures, markings, and subtle color variations that make every piece one of a kind. The naturally chipped edges of these slate coasters are an intentional design feature, adding to its organic charm and authenticity.
- Handwash only. Rinse under warm water and gently scrub with a soft cloth—avoid harsh cleaners or dishwashers. Dry thoroughly after washing. Do not soak, prolonged exposure to water may weaken or stain the slate.
