Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-MAASTRICHT
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-MAASTRICHT
Limburg’s capital city, Maastricht spans the river Meuse and is the birthplace of the Euro. The city served as the eponymous treaty location for the European Union in 1992 and is home to over 125,000, but that swells if you count the University students and then grows further if you look at the regional area who benefits from the city’s unique location in Europe. The cover’s design is an abstracted floral motif reminiscent of Ukrainian Egg patterns. Divided into 8 parts, the geometric design has a central pickpoint, a five-pointed star from Maastricht’s City symbol at the top and a city-shaped gum splat at the southern quadrant.
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.
