Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Leipzig
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Leipzig
Located at the historic Holy Roman intersection of the east-west running Via Reggia and the north-south running Via Imperii, Leipzig has always been a trade city. Home to over 600,000 people the city has seen a resurgence in investment since 2000. Before then, it had a rough go with being locked inside the GDR and serving as the region’s primary industrial output. The Allied bombing and murder of the Jewish population prior to that didn’t help either. Yet the city did rid Europe of Napoleon for a time in 1813 and is thus home to the tallest continental war monument. This gullideckel features the city’s coat of arms which has the Wettin shield of Meissen. A leaping lion with Landsberger Pfähle is surrounded by flora and crowned, natürlich all within a standard Passavant motif.
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.
