Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Monterrey, Mexico
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Monterrey, Mexico
Nuevo León’s capital, and Mexico’s second city, Monterrey proper is home to over 1.1 million people. Founded in 1596 by conquistador Diego de Montemayor, the city was named after the Viceroy wife’s hometown of Monterrei in Spain. The area is surrounded by mountains and is largely dry, yet the river Santa Catarina runs underneath. This provides water for the artificial river that runs through this rapidly growing city. This tapa de registro serves another part of the underground.
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.
