# Escher Tessellations Art Glass Coasters – Geometric Set of 4

## Museum Drink Coasters Inspired by Escher’s Geometric Imagination

Add movement, symmetry, and visual play to your table with these **museum drink coasters** featuring four iconic tessellations by the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. Each round coaster presents one of his mesmerizing geometric designs, including colorful fish, delicate butterflies, interlocked birds, and the famous angels-and-bats pattern. Together, these images form a striking set that elevates any space while celebrating Escher’s inventive mind.

Crafted from printed glass, these **museum drink coasters** protect your table with a smooth, durable surface. The artwork sits safely beneath the glass to preserve color and detail through daily use. Each coaster includes four rubber feet to prevent slipping and protect furniture. A sleek metal rack is included for convenient storage. The set belongs to the **Parastone Museum Gift Collection**, which adapts world-renowned artworks into functional décor pieces.

Each **M.C. Escher coaster** measures 3⅞ inches in diameter and ⅛ inch thick. The set weighs about 1.2 pounds—substantial enough to stay put, yet light enough for easy handling. These **museum coasters** pair well with modern interiors, math-inspired décor, or classic black-and-white minimalist designs. They make excellent gifts for artists, mathematicians, designers, and anyone who loves clever visual illusions.

### Escher’s Tessellations Featured in This Museum Drink Coaster Set

Escher transformed simple shapes into complex repeating patterns. These **M.C. Escher glass coasters** highlight four examples of his mastery. The fish tessellation blends warm and cool tones in a calm rhythmic flow. The butterfly pattern forms a radiant circular composition. The black-and-white birds interlock with perfect symmetry. The angels-and-bats image showcases the tension between positive and negative space. These designs reveal Escher’s lifelong fascination with mathematics, precision, and visual puzzles.

Escher’s influence stretches deep into modern art, graphic design, and optical illusion traditions. His work inspired later artists in Op Art, digital animation, architectural design, and computer-generated patterning. The logic of tessellation has also informed developments in mathematics, especially geometry and symmetry studies. Displaying these **museum drink coasters** brings a piece of that intellectual and artistic legacy into your living space.

### About the Artist: M.C. Escher

Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898–1972) trained in architecture before shifting to graphic arts in Haarlem. His early work focused on landscapes and natural forms, but his style changed dramatically after 1936 when he began exploring mathematical ideas and symbolic structures. His tessellations, “impossible” constructions, and intricate geometric illusions continue to influence art, science, design, and digital media. Escher’s blend of creativity and logic makes his work timeless and widely admired.
