Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Chicago Electric
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Chicago Electric
Another bold cover that is found in a few styles on Chicago’s streets. This one is vented in 12 places, has a small block grid and comes with a curved typeface that matches the concentricity of the cover. The center has a bull’s eye whereas others have a non-curvilinear typeface, but a segmented center shape. Two pickpoints sit at one o’clock and a curiously shaped gum splat occupies the gap in right field.
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.
