Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Copenhagen Stjerne
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Copenhagen Stjerne
The capital of Denmark, København is often the model for good urban growth. Its geographical location between the North and Baltic Seas along with its proximity to Sweden has benefitted the city for ages. Today its population growth is astounding, reaching a historic high. Similarly, the city has become a tourist destination with many visiting Nyhavn, which is known for its varying ochre-colored vernacular buildings. This cover can be found there as well as nearly all over the nation. A six-sided star holds the center with concentric trapezoids emanating from there and hemmed in by a Greek meander. This design is also found in the Denmark 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.
