Hand-applied, framed in cream-white, and finished with a gold edge – a vintage set from approximately the 1960s to 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the coasters are made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach square image was glued onto an \u003cstrong\u003eivory-colored plate\u003c\/strong\u003e, leaving a wide light border all around.
