Trivets

Functional and decorative, trivets are used to protect tables and counter surfaces from being damaged by hot pots or pans. Many times, a trivet will be used to set serving platters or other hot plates on a dinner table. This keeps the heat and/or moisture from damaging the table and tablecloth. Because trivets are used in a table setting, they are often ornate or stylish.

Trivets can be made from a wide variety of materials including wood, metal, ceramic, bamboo, silicone, plastic, fabric, and rubber. Square, round, or expandable, trivets are the perfect way to serve hot plates while still adding a decorative touch to your table setting. From contemporary chrome to traditional hand painted ceramics, trivets come in all shapes and styles.
