Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-BOLOGNA

$25.00

Located in the culinary heartland of Italy, Bologna gave the world Mortadella. The food was regulated for centuries by the church with its purity protected by threats of the rack and loss of income. That severe view of the value of food is still part of the culture here in the capital of Emilia-Romagna. The city center is renowned for its unfinished medieval church, a rough example of the impact of corruption and its Due Torri, two leaning towers built nearly 1000 years ago in a show of hubris among families. Remarkably, these towers survived the Allied bombings; many did not. Near the base lies a similar sewer cover to this one depicted here. This one has a coat of arms in its center with radiating hash marks. A contemporary typeface fills the perimeter and a set of Bologna-inspired logo pickpoints adorn the east-west quadrants.

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.
