Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-New York City
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-New York City
This cover is ubiquitous in the Big Apple. The standard Roman hatch pattern is interrupted by the utilitarian N.Y.C SEWER. A strong ring pushes in at the west and east quadrants to make way for the pickpoints. And one hatch has a secreted rat because you can’t have an NYC Sewer without one. Or two. Or three. Or…a countless number!
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.
