Part of our Botticino marble collection, Custom tumbled marble tile photo coasters are made from high quality 4" tumbled Italian marble tiles imprinted with your own images or graphics.Unlike some other coasters you may find, the image is not decoupaged, but hand-printed onto the stone surface. Because the marble is naturally a little porous, the ink is absorbed by the surface of the stone and will never peel or flake off. IMPORTANT NOTE - actual tiles will differ in terms of color saturation and
distressing -- this is only a digital image depicting how the images
will be placed on the tiles, the marble itself may have surface cracks,
veining, pitting and other naturally occurring features which will add
to the uniqueness and character of the finished product.
The initial set-up fee includes a set of four coasters printed with up to four different images.
Additional coaster sets with the same images can be purchased at our regular coaster price, $38 each, or 3 or more for $35 each. These make incredibly unique gifts!
1. Place your order above.
2. When you receive the Order Confirmation email, reply to it with the images attached. Since images are placed onto square tiles, it is best to crop rectangular images into a square shape, so that you control the portion of the image which is reproduced on the tile. You may send one to four images -- one image to be put on all four coasters, or four different images, one on each coaster -- or whatever combination you like.
Custom images must be in the public domain or you must possess ownership of the copyright.
Images that work best have high contrast in color and are sharp in detail; digital photos must be at least 300 dpi. Photographs may be e-mailed in TIFF, EPS or JPEG format. Or, send us a photo (or slide) and we will scan it for you. All images will be returned.
4. We will create a prototype set of finished tiles with these images (as a set of four coasters) for your approval. The initial custom set-up fee is $52, which includes the first set of four custom coasters.
The process can take up to four weeks, but is often complete in two. If you have an immediate need, contact us, we will advise whether or not your time frame can be met.
