Vintage Mid Century Pressed Aluminum Thistle Coasters Set of 4 — Embossed Metal

Mid-century pressed aluminum coasters with embossed thistle design and scalloped edges — elegant, durable barware for vintage or modern tabletops. Sold as a set of four (two sets available at time of this listing). These mid-century pressed aluminum coasters feature an embossed thistle motif surrounded by crimped, scalloped edges that add both texture and visual rhythm. Each coaster has a solid, well-crafted feel despite its lightweight metal composition. The embossed thistles show crisp detailing in relief, offering a subtle sheen that catches light beautifully. Ideal for protecting tabletops while adding a touch of understated MCM style, these versatile coasters suit both bar and living room settings. Aluminum homeware of this style was popular from the 1940s through the 1960s, when “forged aluminum” became a hallmark of American mid-century design. Makers such as Everlast Metal Products and Continental forged decorative yet functional pieces featuring botanical and floral motifs. While this unmarked set does not bear a maker’s mark, its craftsmanship and motif are consistent with that same period. The thistle—Scotland’s national flower—was a favored design symbolizing endurance and grace.
