Gorgeous brass trivets, dipped in sand over high heat for Ihada finish, made in Takaoka, Japan by the formidable foundry, Futagami. Futagami has been making beautiful functional works since 1897.  

If you follow Futagami, you won't be surprised to know these are designed by Oji Masanori.    While they function as trivets, they also=are like jewelry for your table, little works of art.  You might not want to put them away.  They make thoughtful gifts.

You are my sun, my moon and all my stars.  - E.E. Cummings
