Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Cardiff
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Cardiff
Cardiff, the capital of Wales, is on the southern coast where the River Taff empties into the Bristol Channel. Some 370,000 people call Cardiff Adref and is the location of the spectacular Senedd Cymru, which is designed by Rogers Stirk & Harbour. Like the building, the design of the cover is based on a simple grid. Produced by Titan Foundry long ago, which was located on nearby Dumballs road, the cover features two pick-points and a centrally located title. An adjacent gum-splat has a peculiarly familiar shape.
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.
