Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Newark, Delaware
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Newark, Delaware
Located near intersections of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware, Newark was founded in 1694. Home to the University of Delaware since its founding in 1833 when it was a one-room building called Delaware College. Since then, the institution has grown to a campus with over 18,000 students. The mascot for the school is a Blue Hen, a particularly aggressive…chicken. President Joe Biden is a Blue Hen and has surely strutted across this cover at his alma mater. While typically pragmatic, this cover features four quadrants of alternating hatch marks ringed by its location and function. A segmented circle sits center with an added nod and missed opportunity to the school where it is located.
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.
