Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-RIO AGUAS
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-RIO AGUAS
Serving over 10 million people in the environs of Rio de Janeiro, Aguas de Rio is part of the AEGEA sanitation group. The cover is divided into four quadrants where the utility places its terminology in block text formatting on the perimeter. The term for City Hall is written above the core where two mirrored dolphins swim below the word RIO. Added dates of the city’s founding and independence flank the core and the pickpoint sits south. This cover is part of the Rio De Janeiro 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.
