Cut from a big sheet of smokey glass, we love this kiln formed coaster. Hand screen printed with black enamel, it was fused in a kiln to about 1400 degrees. The coaster has clear bumpers on the bottom to protect your surfaces. A nice piece that quietly shows support for the National Archives, these coasters are unique and one of a kind.

In 1930, New York Architect John Russell Pope was selected to design the National Archives Building. Pope's neoclassical design included both practical and symbolic aspects of housing the nation's records. He proposed a monumental structure with highly decorative architectural features, giant Corinthian columns, 40-foot bronze doors, and inscriptions representing the building's historical importance. John Russell Pope also designed the National Gallery and the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C.
