Plymouth Harlequin Placemats - Set of 6

Colourful avant-garde placemats

Corkbacked contemporary tablemats

A bright and colourful collection of avant-garde cork backed placemats, UK designed with care and attention by Plymouth Pottery, one of the leading makers of funky and fashionable quality tablemats. These type of timeless hard placemat is the perfect table mat for preserving your valuable kitchen or dining table and keeping the scratches or spillages of dinner time from causing damage.

The top surface has a hard glaze which is heat-treated and therefore very durable; this protects the bright artwork of the Harlequin design. The thick hardboard centre of these popular funky placemats is a solid 5mm which means each tablemat has a strong and sturdy feel. This thickness prevents the heat generated by your plates from penetrating to the surface of your dining or kitchen table. The base, or bottom surface, is corkbacked with soft cork keeping your precious furniture free from scuffs or abrasions.

Like all the tablemats and coasters by Plymouth Pottery, the Harlequin funky placemats are not just a practical way to protect your kitchen or dining table from damage by careless family members, but they are created to also bring an element of joy to mealtimes.

Matching colourful coasters

Easy care advice and accessories

To match the funky Harlequin placemats, square corkbacked drinks coasters, also as sets of six, are available. Each cork backed coaster has the same theme of brightly painted squares as the matching place mats and are just as easy to maintain. You only need to wipe them clean with a damp sponge or cloth and then rub the coaster or placemat dry with a soft teatowel.

To keep your funky tablemats and coasters looking bright and lively for years, you must avoid placing them in either the dishwasher or microwave and definitely do not immerse them in water. With the critical importance of protecting our planet, the Plymouth Pottery placemats are compliant with the current environmental regulations that are applicable to cork backed placemats and coasters, including the various EU and US codes for renewable resources.

Designed for domestic use, these colourful modern placemats will handle temperatures of around 100ºC. This would be more than enough for the typical dinner plate, but they are not meant to tolerate the heat of pans or dishes taken directly from the oven or the hob.
