Bread Basket with Lotus Warming Tile at The Crabby Nook
Bread Basket with Lotus Warming Tile

In October, 2012, we asked a manufacturing company if they could make us a bread basket with a warming tile. We submitted our design and this is the end product! The basket is handwoven out of Kaisa grass with a Palm wrap. The warming tile is made from terracotta with a hand carved lotus design. We hope you LOVE it as much as we do! We are so excited. We just received a notice that our baskets will arrive in Kansas City on July 16th.
Look for other products we have in the making with our Lotus Floral design! Coming Soon! We hope to have more in time for the Holidays!

Caring for your Stone Sculptures & Carvings
All jade and stone carvings/sculptures are wiped with beeswax or an oil substance to keep it moist before it is wrapped in a paper towel like packaging for shipping. Retail shops in China usually have small glasses of water inside the cases with their jade sculptures.
Stone does dry out and it is important to have a regular care routine for your sculptures. Just like you would have a humidifier in your home for all of your wood cabinets, trim and fu
rniture to keep it from drying out and becoming brittle. I keep a small glass of water in my curio cabinets. Also, at least once a month, I wipe down my jade & stone sculptures with a furniture polish called Liquid Gold or a natural beewax polish. It enhances the colors in the sculpture and keeps it from drying out. If your B, C and D jade or stone sculpture starts to sho
w signs of dry "spots" before the end of the month, you might want to start wiping it with the Liquid Gold or beeswax more often than once a month.


Do not use Liquid Gold on your white jade sculptures! Liquid Gold will turn your white jade yellow. I use a natural Beeswax polish for my white jade pieces. You might want to test a small section with your oil before applying it to see its reaction.
