The Spring Oven Blue Glazed Bread Cloche brings together artisan baking performance and a rich, decorative finish. Designed in Britain by Patrick Kendal and handcrafted in Portugal, it uses a built-in water channel in the base to create steam during the first stage of baking, helping to encourage good rise and a crisp, bakery-style crust. The live BakeryBits listing describes the blue glazed Spring Oven as a glazed cloche for a crusty loaf.
Made from high-fired terracotta, this blue glazed version adds colour and character while keeping the same award-winning design and practical baking function as the rest of the Spring Oven range. It is designed for round loaves of about 500g and is a handsome choice for bakers who want their equipment to look as good as the bread it produces.
Distinctive, practical and beautifully made, it is a lovely bread-baking piece for everyday use or gifting.
