Our Macha Lidded Breadwarmer combines functional design with artisanal whimsy, making it a must-have for any home. This unique piece features a whitewashed terra cotta stone, deeply incised with a nautical design, which rests within a handwoven kaisa grass basket adorned with a palm wrap. Not only is this fair trade warmer oven safe, but it also serves as a popular gift item, ideal for any occasion. The handmade terracotta stone efficiently retains heat to keep your bread warm and inviting. Measuring 7"h x 11"dia, the bread warming stone and woven basket combination is perfect for a family dinner or a cozy gathering, ensuring your breads, chips, tortillas and more stay warm throughout the meal. The basket's natural materials and intricate weaving showcase the meticulous craftsmanship of the artisans we work with, blending style with sustainability. To use, simply rinse the terracotta stone before the first use and dry well. Preheat your oven to 350°F, place the stone inside, and bake for 10 minutes. Although heating time may vary, careful handling is essential, as the stone will be hot. Do not put the basket in the oven; instead, carefully place the warm stone back into the basket. Your purchase provides artisans in Bangladesh much-needed employment, a fair wage, freedom from exploitation, access to healthcare and education for their children. Sales of terracotta handicrafts also benefit small-scale farmers who produce environmentally friendly jute, a key agricultural export. Artisans in Bangladesh
