Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Vilnius

$25.00

The former “Jerusalem of the North,” Vilnius is the capital of the Baltic State Lithuania, even though it is located quite far from the sea. WWII decimated the Jewish population of the city leaving Napoleon’s aforementioned moniker meaningless. Even so, the geographical center of Europe became a Unesco heritage site in 1994 due to its historically influential architecture and medieval city plan. The following year, the city on the Neris river installed the first-ever memorial to Italian-American musician Frank Zappa. Heritage, schmeritage. The cover has the coat of arms featuring St. Christopher carrying baby Jesus across the water at its core with an array of 24 dots and filleted trapezoids. Vilnius is written boldly above the seal.

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.
