Heart-Shaped TrivetHistorically, trivets were as much associated with laundry and "sad irons" as with food preparation. Our design is intended to add an elegant touch to the dining or kitchen table, and is also suitable for cooking at the hearth or by an open fire. It will add a touch of class and authenticity to any 17th or 18th century re-enactment, or protect the table in a modern home. This class covers the production of a traditional and useful heart-shaped trivet, based on several in the Sorber collection of colonial wrought iron.
