Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-ATLANTA
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-ATLANTA
While the manhole cover from the capital of Georgia is a bit banal, Atlanta’s changing demographics is not! Concentric rings at even offsets characterize this cover that dominates the streets of Hotlanta. This one pays homage to Higgins Foundry which manufactured these covers for many decades before its acquisition by East Jordan Ironworks in 1997. The changing demographics of the state are reflected by the pick-points.
The Under Cover series replicates manhole covers from around the world into functional art in the form of coasters, trivets and magnets. 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.
Free domestic shipping. See the International Shipping Options.
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.
