Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Adelaide

$25.00

The city of Churches, Adelaide, Australia is situated within a Mediterranean climate in Southern Australia. Positioned just off the western coast of the St. Vincent Gulf, the city took its name from Adelaide of Saxe-Meininge, who became Queen of England in 1831. The city itself was established five years later. The cover was manufactured by recently defunct Beverly Industries Australia located in the suburb of Ottoway. Its distinctive snowflake design seems to have been copied by a few foundries, with this one having a section removed for infrastructure identity and an added arced mention of the municipality. This pattern is curious as snow is a very rare thing in Adelaide having only received a dusting in 2012 and nothing measurable since 1951, but with climate change…who knows? Another thought for this pattern could be a reference to the webs of the many venomous spiders found in the city. Check your shoes for those redbacks and white tips before walking out to find this cover! This design is also found in the Down Under manhole coaster set.

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.
