Manufactum Stoneware Bread Bin

The size of this bread pot is chosen so that the sourdough bread from our bakery can fit in it. Good ventilation is provided by the fluting in the bottom plate and three holes under each of the lid handles. Moisture can escape without the bread drying out. (If mold does form, the glaze can be wiped off with highly diluted vinegar water.)
Both the lid and the base are made of genuine Westerwald clay and are fired in an open fire at temperatures of around 1,250 °C. They are ovenproof, so the lid can also be used as a baking dish and the base as a serving dish, and the lid can also be used as a bread basket since it can be turned upside down.

The pottery where these pots are made is located in Ransbach-Baumbach, in the Vorderer Westerwald, where the highest-quality clay deposits in Europe are found. The family business can look back on 150 years of tradition in working with clay - here it is genuine Westerwald clay, sought after for its light coloration and fine plasticity. Densely sintered, fired and glazed, it is non-porous and waterproof, so it is easy to clean, yet impact-resistant and edge-stable.
