Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Bratislava
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Bratislava
When you ask a Bratislavan what to see first on your visit the answer is often Vienna. Often described as Vienna without the lines, the capital of Slovakia has much charm to offer. It is home to the cherished “man at work” sculpture which has a worker popping up from a manhole cover. The cover depicted here features its coat of arms which was ordained by Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg in 1436. Bratislava is part of the Central Europe 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.
