The Under Cover series replicates manhole covers from around the world into functional art in the form of coasters, trivets and magnets. Each illustration is initially hand-drawn for precision and then permanently etched into cork. The cork coasters are .25" thick and 4" in diameter with rounded edges. The engraving method has incredible detail and tactility. Fabricated from sustainable Portuguese cork. Designed and packaged in Philadelphia, PA USA.
Free domestic shipping. See the International Shipping Options.
Cork is a natural material, thus rare aberrations within the etching can occur, but at this scale good luck noticing.
As each one is made to order please allow three business days for delivery.
“We all have three cities: the one in which we grew up, the one where we live and the one in which we wished we live."-Alan Furst
A custom display rack can be ordered for an additional $4. See the individual trivets and magnets too.
