Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-ANN ARBOR

$25.00

Ann Arbor was founded in 1824 and spans the Huron River, in South Central Michigan . The city’s name derived from the fact that the wives of the two founders, John Allen and Elisha Rumsey, were both named Ann. In those early years, a sawmill was set up to take advantage of the vast number of trees in the area, especially Oak. Ann Arbor hoped to be the capital of Michigan, but lost out to Lansing. Lucky for them as Ann Arbor is really known for being the home of the Wolverines, which is the athletic component of the University of Michigan. The city’s population and economy are dependent on the highly regarded University. This newer cover is the result of a competition and was designed by Laurie Borggreve. Titled Horizon, the cover features the Ann Arbor skyline in between a symmetrical Oak tree that is mirrored in four directions. An acorn sits at the top and bottom with an added M. The illustration sits within a standard EJ template for fabrication ease.

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" 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.
