2025.1.302Description
Round coaster printed in red on a cream ground. A script header reads "Nuestra Cita…" ("Our Date…"), accompanied by small four-petal flower motifs and a vignette of a bottle flanked by two cocktail glasses with straws. Below are printed fill-in lines labeled "en:", "a:", "de:", and "fecha:" — all left blank. The board is lightly speckled/foxed.Context
A romantic novelty/keepsake coaster meant for a couple to record the details of a date (place, time, and date) as a memento of an outing. It matches the red-line drawing/lettering style, round pulpboard stock, and format of the companion coasters in the collection, indicating the same series; Cuban origin is likely by association, though it is unmarked.Collection
The Cabrera Arús family collectionMade/Created
