I don't know the proper english name, but you can get them at Michels, for

things are available in all kinds of optics (ebay has a few sellers but
there are also a few in germany) you can get those in all sizes. The
birchbark, will keep pests out and even mildew spores and such. In birchbark
containers my (baked with no preservatives) bread keeps for a little over a
week.
