Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Abu Dhabi
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Abu Dhabi
Second in population to Dubai, Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE. Over 1.5 million people live on the island, most of whom are foreign nationals who contribute to the newly built urbanscape. This cover, produced by Norinco, a notorious Chinese arms manufacturer, serves the sewerage lines. The plant is adjacent to a water treatment facility and hopefully, the two do not mix with the potable desalinated water. Arabic and English sit center of the cover within a polar array of T-shaped and dashed markings. An added Abu Dhabi icon sits center between the two pickpoints.
The perfect gift for housewarmings, and anniversaries each illustration is initially hand-drawn for precision and then permanently etched into cork. The trivets are .375" thick and 7.25" 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.
Cork is a natural material, thus rare aberrations within the etching can occur.
As each one is made to order please allow three business days for delivery.
