Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-CONCORD, NH
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-CONCORD, NH
New Hampshire’s capital, Concord, was founded in 1659 and is home to 44,000 Concordians. Yet something miraculous must have happened in 1980 for it to be featured so boldly on this cover along with the word “SEWER” written in block letterforms. A grid of squares evenly surrounds the centered text and a ring of 20 diamonds, double the amount of New Hampshire counties, fills out the sides only to be interrupted by the city name at the top and the name of the foundry below. A pickpoint sits to the west. A curiously shaped triangle is proximate to the pickpoint and the O in concord has a familiar void.
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.
