This Peace Dove Breadwarmer is not only a reminder of hope through the symbolism of the dove with an olive branch, it literally provides hope for the artisans who handcrafted each of its components.  Farmers who grow the jute to be used by weavers who entwine each frond to create the basket, artisans who inscribe the terracotta to make the beautiful heating stone.  So bake happily because now your favorite meal accessories will stay warm!
 
When you purchase this handmade product, you are also providing the artisans in Bangladesh with necessary employment, access to healthcare, fair wages, and education for their children who would otherwise not be able to attend school. You are also aiding the small-scale farmers and their environmentally-friendly jute cultivation, whose crops are used in the weaving of the basket. Business education, health and nutrition training,  women's advocacy, deep wells for fresh drinking water, sanitary toilets in homes, and even environmental and reforestation programs also benefit these incredible artisans, and thus empower them and their communities! 
 
Each measures approximately 3"h x 11"dia.
