Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Portland Pacific Power & Light
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Portland Pacific Power & Light
Cobbled from several failed Northwest energy utilities, Portland Pacific power & Light was formed in 1910. Now known as Pacific Corp, the consortium has 68 generating plants that rely largely on fossil fuels. Hopefully, its controlling company Berkshire Hathaway energy will keep to its 2040 renewable energy plan. The cover features a concentric radial formatted design that imitates truss work. Hand-placed Blockletter typeface describes the utility along with added dates of its and Portland’s founding. The combination “8 and miniature c “ to create the ampersand is clever and evidence of the handmade.
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.
