Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Odense
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Odense
Home to fairytale writer and subversive H. C. Christian Andersen, Odense is located on the isle of Fyn, which in turn is sandwiched between Jutland and Zealand. Home to over 180,000 Danes, Odense is Denmark’s third-largest city. Named after the Nordic God Odin, the city is the commercial hub of the isle. The cover features the city’s most famous resident and sits just outside his birthplace on a quaint street. The dot patterning along the circumference is from a typical Furnes pattern which is found in many Danish municipalities. This design is also found in the Denmark manhole coaster set.
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.
