{"product_id":"french-banneton-couronne-crown-bread-proofing-basket-linen","title":"The Couronne Banneton","description":"\u003cp\u003eA French \u003cem\u003ebanneton à couronne\u003c\/em\u003e — the crown-shaped proofing basket a baker used for the last rising of a ring loaf. A cone rises from the centre of the willow and the dough proofs around it, so the bread leaves the oven as a crown rather than a round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape belongs to the \u003cem\u003ecouronne bordelaise\u003c\/em\u003e, the ring loaf of southwest France. The cone is the whole point of it: without a riser in the middle the centre closes as the dough grows. Plain round bannetons turn up often. Crown ones do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one still has its original linen liner, sewn to shape and around the rim, in a plain weave with a narrow blue stripe. The liner has taken on the deep, even flour-and-time colour that only comes from real use, with a few darker marks and soft creases where the dough sat. That patina is the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e unmarked, as bannetons were\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e c. 1930–1960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e willow (osier) with a linen liner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e very good for a basket that worked for a living — willow sound with no broken rods, centre cone firm, liner whole with the marks and staining described above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e D 32 × H 8 cm \/ D 12.6 × H 3.1 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo are available and each is sold on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping to the United States:\u003c\/strong\u003e the price you see includes all import duties and tariffs.
