Vintage Scottie Dog Metal Coasters, Set of 2, Mid Century Tin Litho Terrier Drink Coasters

A cheerful pair of vintage Scottie dog metal coasters with strong mid-century graphic appeal. This set of 2 round tin litho coasters features black Scottish Terrier silhouettes, a small duck pull-toy, and a cream background with raised punched metal detail.

These are the kind of small vintage pieces that work nicely in a barware collection, on a side table, or tucked into a Scottie dog display. The design is playful and crisp from the front, with enough age and wear to show they were actually used and enjoyed.
