History

Pimpernel is a British brand established in the 1950s, renowned for producing high-quality tableware including placemats and coasters.

Pimpernel coaster sets are cherished by collectors of vintage tableware and those who appreciate mid-century British design. The combination of functionality and attractive artwork makes these sets appealing to both users and collectors. Enthusiasts of vintage kitchenware, Anglophiles, and those interested in retro home decor actively seek out Pimpernel products for their nostalgic charm and enduring quality.
