Description
White Brabantia bread bin with a sliding lid and decorated with a red rose on the lid. Ideal storage bin for keeping bread fresh. The bread bin is compact and space-saving because the sliding lid pivots towards the inside of the bin. You can also easily store some storage cans or spice jars on the flat top. The bread bin is suitable for two large loaves of bread or for individual bread rolls in general. The bread stays fresh because the drum has ventilation holes on the sides. This durable lunch box is equipped with a sound-damping plastic impact cap on the inside.

The original brand sticker "Brabantia Home Steel" is still present.

At the back are two suspension eyes with which you can also attach the lunch box to the wall so that this bread box can also be turned into a wall shelf.

A breadbox (chiefly American) or a bread bin (chiefly British) is a container for storing bread and other baked goods to keep them fresh. They were a more common household kitchen item until bread started being made commercially with food preservatives and wrapped in plastic. Breadboxes are still used by many people to store commercially purchased bread but are used more especially by people who bake bread at home. Newer ones are usually made of metal. In the past, they were often made of wood or sometimes pottery (pottery breadboxes are also called bread crocks). Old breadboxes can be collectible antiques.
