Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Cagliari
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Cagliari
Sardinia’s major city, Cagliari is home to over 155, 000 people. Meaning “castle” in Sardinian, the city is rather hilly which is good for fortification. Cagliari has a long history of occupation with Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Pisans, Genovans, Spaniards all having their hand in the geographically desirable land. Eventually, the city and island were absorbed by Italy. The Santuario di Nostra Signora di Bonaria from 1335 has seen much of the latter part of this timeframe as it overlooks the Gulf of Sardinia. And to the southeast of the edifice sits this cover made by the local foundry Dino Pusceddu. Concentric rings spring from the center which has a familiarly shaped central lift point.
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.
