Owl Terracotta Bread Warmer & Round Basket

A round bread basket with an owl-engraved terracotta warmer

The Owl Bread Warmer Basket keeps bread warm while providing a complete serving piece for the table. Its round terracotta plate is engraved with an owl perched among leafy branches and sized to fit inside the handwoven basket. Once heated, the clay gradually releases warmth beneath rolls, biscuits, or sliced bread.

Design & Construction

Owl & Tree Design: The engraved motif depicts an owl surrounded by branches, leaves, and small floral details.
Terracotta Warmer: Naturally insulating clay absorbs heat and releases it gradually to help bread remain warm during the meal.
Handwoven Basket: Sustainably grown seagrass is woven with jute wool to create a round basket with two raised handles.
Fitted Components: The circular warming plate rests neatly inside the bottom of the basket.

Fair Trade Craftsmanship

Handmade in Bangladesh: Both components are sustainably produced by Fair Trade artisans in Bangladesh.
Clay and Fiber Work: The set combines hand-engraved terracotta with traditional natural-fiber basket weaving.
Made by Women: Women artisans participate in producing the collection through established craft-based employment.
Handcrafted Variation: Differences in engraving, weave, color, shape, and dimensions are expected.

How to Use

Oven: Place only the terracotta warmer in a preheated 350°F oven for 5–10 minutes.
Microwave: Alternatively, heat the terracotta warmer on high for 2–4 minutes.
Serve: Carefully return the heated plate to the basket, then arrange bread on top. Use oven mitts when handling the warm terracotta.
Important: Never place the basket in the oven or microwave.
