Our Blue Stripe Lobster tablecloth is hand block printed on soft 100% cotton in the historic Sanganer district of Jaipur, where generations of master printers continue this traditional craft.
The lobster motif was drawn by artist Cate Wise exclusively for Cosy Buddha, adding a playful note to this classic striped design.
Each cloth is printed by hand using intricately carved wooden blocks and naturally derived pigments. The process is slow and precise, with each colour applied separately by hand. Subtle variations in the print are part of the charm and a reminder of the skilled hands behind every piece.
The combination of crisp blue stripes and the cheerful lobster motif feels fresh and relaxed. Perfect for long lunches, seaside suppers and laid back family meals that stretch happily into the afternoon.
Approx. 150 x 270 cm, designed to drape beautifully over most 6–8 seater tables.
Style with the matching napkins and tea towel or mix with our spots and stripes for a more relaxed look.
Because we work slowly and sustainably, only a few of each print and size are available, making every cloth as special as the gatherings it will host. Due to the lengthy time it takes to hand print and air dry these pieces, this collection is extremely limited.
Every piece is printed entirely by hand, so no two are ever quite the same. You may notice small variations in the print: a softer edge here, a faint tide mark where one block meets the next. These aren't flaws; they're the signature of the human hand, and what makes your piece one of a kind.
Care Note - Please Read
The natural pigments in our hand block printed cotton will mellow and soften over time, especially strong, deep colours. This is part of their handmade charm, but to keep your colours at their best for longer, wash sparingly and always very gently.
To keep your piece at its best:
- Hand washing is recommended.
- If machine washing, use a delicates cycle at 20-30°C maximum.
- Wash with mild detergent only: no bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Air dry only, out of direct sunlight.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Iron on a cool setting, on the reverse side.
