ITEM: Bread Holder

NOTES: This is a bread roll holder beautifully decorated and featuring the rooster of Barcelos which is the black rooster depicted and is a national symbol of Portugal. Okay, it’s not hand embroided but rather printed but it is still quite stylish and would be a nice centrpiece to a Portugese themed dinner party!

It’s also a smart piece of useful kitchenware.
