Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Erie
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Erie
Kitty-corner to the metropolis of Philadelphia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania lies the city on its eponymous lake, Erie. Just over 97,000 people live in The Flagship City as it is known. That moniker comes from Oliver Hazard Perry’s flagship, the Niagara, which sailed the waters of Lake Erie during the war of 1812. The ship is featured at the top of the cover’s triad. Clockwise from there is a rendering of the Art Deco Warner Theater built in 1931 and designed by Rapp & Rapp Co. The theater has been gloriously restored and expanded. Its marquee has an added “Gem City,” as Erie is also called due to the glimmering waters of the Great lake. Along the lakeshore stands the bicentennial tower, built in 1996 and fills out the last wedge of the triad. This cover is also part of the Keystone State coaster set which also includes Philadelphia, Pittsburgh & Harrisburg.
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.
