Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Chizu, Japan/智頭町
CUSTOM COASTER-CHIZU, TOTTORI
The Town of Cedars where 90% of the land is covered in trees, this small village has been in the wood industry for over three centuries. Billed as a retreat during the Edo period the town of 7,000 inhabitants still attracts visitors. The cover features the cedar trees that supply the village with its main resource. Below them lie flowers from the native Enkianthus perulatus. The city symbol encircles these elements with the name of the area and a cigarette butt menacing the three cedars. You can find this cover in the traditional town near the brewery.
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.
