Handcrafted Quality: Rattan reed handwoven over a wood bottom in a long oval with a wrapped hardwood rim and no handles, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it. The Whole-Loaf Size: 16 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches at the rim and 4 1/4 inches tall: ten to twelve rolls, a French loaf, a full sourdough boule, or the assorted breads for a holiday table. How The Warming Works: Add the pad and the cover from this page and the loaf comes to the table warm and stays that way through the meal; without them it is the bread basket for a big family. Measures: 16 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 4 1/4" tall. Contents not included. Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on; the plain finish varies a little from piece to piece because the stain takes differently on wood from different trees. Optional Extras: The microwave warming pad, the hand-sewn cotton liner and the elastic-edged cloth cover are each optional and sold right on this page, with protective feet. The basket ships alone and is a bread basket without them. No brass plate is offered on this size; the way the large basket is built does not let a plate attach securely in the center, and the families will not sell an option they cannot guarantee. American Heritage: Handwoven in the USA and signed by the Amish weaver who made it. Backed by our lifetime guarantee, with free shipping and no-questions returns on every order. "I purchased the warmer along with it and it really helps to keep the bread warm." Vickie wrote in 2024. Tina's is the "Perfect size and beautiful." Tabitha gave one for Christmas: "They loved it so much they want to display it all year round." Melisa, who bought the set, found "the large one holds a full-size loaf of bread". The pad is a cloth pad filled with sand: three minutes in the microwave, then it lies in the bottom of the basket under the liner, the cover goes over the rolls, and they stay warm for up to 90 minutes. Only the pad goes in the microwave, never the basket. The liner and cover are pre-shrunk cotton broadcloth that machine wash and dry. Michelle's "baskets remind me of home They are warm beautiful and most of all they are made in America". The sizes are the outside of the rim, with the inside about an inch smaller; the basket is woven freehand, so allow about a half inch either way. For six to eight rolls, the Medium Bread Warming Basket at 13 1/2 x 6 1/2, the one size that takes a brass plate; for the breakfast table, the Small at 10 1/2 x 5 1/2; all three, the 3-Piece Set. The Large Bread Warmer 4-Piece Set is this basket with the pad, liner and cover in one box. The rest are on the bread warming baskets page. An Old Order Amish family weaves it by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same community as the rest of our kitchen baskets, and the weaver signs the bottom before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free, and rush delivery is offered at checkout when a birthday or Christmas is close. It ships gift-ready, with no prices in the box, a free gift note at checkout, and a short letter about the family who wove it. Like every basket we sell, it carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked. Measures: 16 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 4 1/4" tall
