Stoneware bread pot: natural, classic storage, densely sintered, non-porous, oxygen to breathe, circulation occurs through side air holes and grooves in the bottom, inside of the lid is unglazed, means a larger surface area where moisture is accumulated and slowly returned to the bread, but non-porous, no storage of unwanted mold possible! Thick-walled, cooling, bread lies dark in uniform temperature, so in its own climate.
