Trivet Pot Holder Hot Plate Traditional Ironwork
$99.99
These unique Trivets or pot holders are hand forged in rural Appalachia from 3/8" thick iron bars. The scrolls are forged individually at the anvil then combined together to form the Trivet. “Hot collars” or bands of metal are then hammered into place while hot, which then tighten as the iron cools creating a mechanical connection as well as adding an extra ornamental touch. Trivets are a perfect addition to the stove top or dining room table (we use several in our home) although some folks prefer to use them as a candle holder for jarred candles. After forging and cleanup work the trivets are given a traditional blackened finish to seal the metal and prevent rust. Iron is the Traditional 6 year wedding anniversary gift, Steel is the 11th year. The words Iron and Steel are almost always used interchangeably in ornamental Blacksmithing due to the availability of materials. Items that would have been made from Wrought Iron, are now made from mild low carbon steel, the closest we as modern smiths can find readily available. Thanks for checking out my blacksmith shop!
