Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Dresden
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Dresden
Saxony’s capital, Dresden is home to over 550,000 people. Located in the former GDR along the river Elbe, the city is known for its Baroque architecture. Much of that architecture in its core was decimated during the bombing in mid-February, 1945. Some was reconstructed alongside Soviet-era architecture. This cover sits in the plaza of the Frauenkirche which is one of the reconstructed buildings. The Dresden coat of arms dating from 1309 with its Meissen lion and pales of Landsberg sits in the center surrounded by standard vent cover markings from the Eisenhammer foundry.
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.
