I am a young woman that was raised by much older people. Growing up every kitchen had a bread box, cookie jar and butter dish. I've ordered all of these from Wayfair, because it is now difficult to find good quality ones in physical stores. This bread box seals tightly, can hold bagels, loaves of bread, croissants, etc. They stay fresh and do not spoil quickly. It is clear, so it matches any décor.
