MANHOLE COVER TRIVET-ZURICH

$25.00

Züri, as the locals call the largest city in Switzerland, inhabits the northwestern point of its eponymous lake. Founded by the Romans two millennia ago, German is the primary language for its 400,000 plus inhabitants. French, Italian, and Romansh are also spoken there as well as many other languages as nearly a third of its denizens are from elsewhere. This is because it is the financial capital of the country and a top place to live in the world according to the Happiness Institute. Many of those happy people traipse over this cover daily with its perfect Swiss grid. That grid is interrupted by the city symbol showcasing the waves of the lake, the sun glinting on its rippled surface and sails enjoying the mountain air. The city’s refined coat of arms takes its place at the central pickpoint. A maker’s mark within a machined gear is above that with “Kanalisation” stating the cover’s identity as sewerage further north.

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.
