Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Corfu/Κέρκυρα
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Corfu/Κέρκυρα
Located off the Northwest coast of Greece, Corfu is in the Ionian Sea. Home to just over 100,000 people, the island’s population triples through tourism. The Venetian fortresses, which kept it out of Ottoman hands for centuries, are a major draw. The cover features a broken meander with the Greek word for “water” on the bottom. The Greek name for the island replaces two arcs mirrored above which have an added outline of the isle in the middle. It is picked up via the pry points in the center.
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.
