Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Brisbane

$25.00

Named after the first Governor of New South Wales, Thomas Brisbane, the eponymous third city of Australia lies on the inland coast of Moreton Bay, Queensland. This being so despite the fact that Mr. Brisbane spent only four years in Australia and barely a few days in the area that was designated a northern penal colony; much to the chagrin of the local Jagera people. Brisbane bloomed during World War II as the city served as a headquarters for the American Pacific campaign. The City Hall depicted on the cover was completed in 1930 with its clock permanently now set at 4:00pm-knock-off time for most municipal workers. The city is flush with fantastic flora and fauna, with the former depicted by the flowers on either side of the filleted frame, and framed within is one sneaky Eucalyptus eater caught up the wrong tree.

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.
