Manhole Cover Coasters: Virginia
Manhole Cover Coasters: Virginia
The 10th state admitted to the Union, Virginia was once solidly Confederate red on the political map. Now, it has shifted purple with an Indigo hue around the DC metro area. 8 presidents have come from the Commonwealth beginning with Washington and ending with Wilson. 8.6 million people call the Old Dominion home and many of those live in these four cities: Arlington, Richmond, Charlottesville and Virginia Beach. See the Custom Coaster Sections to learn more about each city.
Make a stand by adding a display stand.
Tombino 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. These make the perfect birthday or holiday gift. Each coaster is .25" thick and 4" in diameter. The engraving method has incredible detail and tactility. Fabricated from sustainable Portuguese cork. Designed and packaged in Philadelphia, PA USA.
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 too. See the individual trivets and magnets as well.
