Norwegian Porcelain Trivet

“Der er en lykke i livet som ikke vendes til lede, det at du gleder en annen det er den eneste glade. Der er en sorg i verden som ingen tårer kan lette det at det var forsent da du skjønte dette. Ingen kan resten av tiden stå ved en grav å klage døgnet har mange timer året har mange dage.” –Poem by Arnulf Øverland, 1929 Roughly translated: There is a happiness in life that never turns to regret: To bring joy to another— that is the only true joy. There is a sorrow in the world that no tears can ease: To realize too late that this was true. No one can spend the rest of their life standing by a grave and grieving. The day has many hours, the year has many days. This trivet is 10″ in height and 6″ wide. It has a hole at the top in case you want to hang it. It’s in very good shape besides a paint smudge from when it was made.
