Coaster Set Riva Ritratto in 18/10 Stainless Steel with 24K Gold Plating, 4 Pieces

The Riva Ritratto coaster set brings 4 pieces in 18/10 stainless steel with 24K gold plating. It is a practical solution to support glasses and stemware and protect wood, stone or lacquered surfaces from condensation rings and moderate heat. The square profile with a central circular recess creates a dedicated resting area for different base shapes, from low tumblers to narrow goblets.

The high chrome and nickel content provides stability, luster and resistance to oxidation typical of bar use. The 24K gold plating defines the visual read: warm tone, strong reflection and immediate presence when light hits—qualities that stand out at night under indirect or candlelight.

As a coordinated set, the four units cover the main places on a side table, coffee table or sideboard, keeping a consistent finish. The metal thickness gives rigidity to the disk and the square perimeter makes it easy to align pieces on trays and bar carts. Being a metal surface, it does not absorb liquids: any droplets should be wiped off to avoid temporary halos.

Versatile for everyday use and for hosting, the set works with coffee, water, iced drinks and wine glasses. For larger arrangements, multiply the set by place to maintain a unified material and color across the service area.

The set was designed for beverage service at home. In living rooms, it protects the coffee table from water rings left by chilled glasses. On sideboards, it creates fixed resting points during serving, avoiding direct glass-to-surface contact. At the bar, it organizes places for drinks and stemware while keeping a consistent visual composition.

The circular recess helps contain small droplets that run down the wall of the glass, reducing the chance of spreading liquid across the table. The polished face reflects ambient light, which flatters crystal and glass pieces resting on the metal. In tray compositions, the square format lets you place the units side by side without wasting space, creating neat rows.

For surfaces that are sensitive, such as high-gloss varnishes, set down and lift the coaster without dragging. On natural stone, the metal creates an interesting texture contrast; on wood, it adds a metallic point that echoes serving cutlery, ice tongs and other accessories.

18/10 stainless steel is an alloy with approximately 18% chromium and 10% nickel. Chromium forms a protective film that resists oxidation and everyday staining; nickel contributes to the stability of the alloy and to the shine after polishing. In table and bar pieces, this combination supports frequent use without losing its mirror aspect when properly cared for.

Over the stainless steel, the 24K gold plating brings warm color and reflection. The polished surface responds to light with intensity: small changes in illumination shift the gleam and emphasize the outline of the central recess. Over time, handling may cause micro surface scratches expected of mirror-finish metal; correct cleaning and careful storage help keep the finish even.

Prolonged contact with acidic substances, salt, melted sugar or aggressive cleaning agents is not recommended, as it may compromise the shine of the applied plating. Avoid extreme thermal shock: the metal handles hot cups and chilled glasses in home use, but sudden, localized temperature changes can affect the surface appearance.

To preserve the 24K gold finish and its shine, hand-wash with a soft sponge, water and mild detergent soon after use. Rinse well and dry immediately with a microfiber cloth to avoid water marks.

• Do not use a dishwasher, steel wool, scouring creams or abrasives.
• Avoid prolonged contact with acidic drinks and brines; if it happens, wash right away.
• For storage, stack carefully, placing a soft cloth between pieces if you want to reduce friction.
• On very delicate surfaces, set down without dragging.

Following these steps, the set maintains the luster of the plating and the mirror read of the stainless steel even with frequent use in table settings and at the bar.

How many pieces are in the set?

What are the material and finish?

18/10 stainless steel with 24K gold plating and a polished surface.

Can I use it with hot and cold drinks?

Yes. The metal supports home use with hot cups and chilled glasses. Avoid extreme thermal shock and always dry after use.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Dishwashers are not recommended due to the gold plating. Hand-wash and dry immediately.

Does the coaster absorb liquids?

No. Being metal, it is not absorbent. Wipe droplets with a cloth to avoid temporary halos on the surface.

Where should I use it day to day?

On coffee and side tables, trays, sideboards and on the bar cart, creating resting points for glasses and stemware.

How do I avoid scratches?

Use a soft sponge for cleaning, dry with microfiber and avoid dragging the piece over delicate surfaces.
