Yes, it is designed as a functional pot holder. Its ceramic construction and 1-inch thickness provide a stable, heat-resistant surface for standard kitchenware.
This piece is in excellent vintage condition. While it has been preserved well over the decades, please expect the minor, natural character marks typical of authentic, nearly century-old ceramic art.
The trivet is a solid ceramic piece. Depending on the surface of your table, you may want to add small felt pads to the bottom to ensure it does not slide or scratch delicate wood finishes.
To preserve the glaze and the integrity of the vintage material, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
