Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Hamburg
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Hamburg
Hamburg, Germany’s second-largest city, is historically known as the Gateway to the World given its position on the Elbe and its union with the Hanseatic League. The city was given its name when Charlemagne built a castle there in 808. Since then it has suffered measurably from various invaders and attacks, most notably on July 23, 1943 when it was firebombed by the RAF. Now, it is an extraordinary urbane destination, with a thick-skinned citizenry. Part of the Deutschland Über Alles coaster set.
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.
