Know before you buy
This design uses a water-seal method. By placing a small amount of water in the base, the butter is kept airtight, which allows it to stay soft and spreadable at room temperature for several days without spoiling.
This dish is specifically designed to accommodate four European or West Coast style butter sticks. It is best to pack the butter firmly into the bell to ensure it stays in place when you invert it into the water base.
Yes. It is crafted from durable Polish Pottery Stoneware and is certified Quality One (GAT 1). It is also completely lead and cadmium-free, making it a safe choice for food storage.
Absolutely. The stoneware is both microwave and dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean and convenient if you need to slightly soften your butter.
This piece is oven-safe up to 480°F. While it is primarily used as a butter dish, the high-quality stoneware construction allows it to handle significant heat if needed.
Because each piece is individually handcrafted and hand-painted in Poland, there may be slight variations in the 'Forget Me Knot' pattern. This uniqueness is a hallmark of authentic Polish Pottery.
