What are Princess House coasters and why are they popular?

Princess House coasters are small crystal pieces designed to hold glasses and protect surfaces. Many sets include six coasters, often with matching patterns. The examples shown feature cut crystal designs that create a starburst effect. These coasters became popular during the 1970s and 1980s as decorative table accessories. Their weight and clarity give them a more refined look than standard coasters. Some sets were sold with holders made from metal or wood. Prices for vintage sets range from €20 to €60 depending on condition and packaging.
