Know before you buy
This dish is designed to hold one standard East Coast butter stick. It is not suitable for larger European-style or 'West Coast' butter blocks.
Because each butter dish is hand-cast and hand-painted, there will be slight variations in the finish and color application. This ensures that every piece has a unique, artisanal character.
We recommend hand-washing the dish and lid with mild soap and water to preserve the hand-painted finish. Avoid using harsh abrasives or high-heat dishwasher cycles, which could damage the ceramic glaze over time.
Yes, the dome lid is designed to fit over the tray to keep your butter protected and fresh. It provides a standard cover that is easy to lift and replace during daily use.
The dish is crafted from high-quality ceramic, making it sturdy for everyday use. While it is durable, it should be handled with the same care as other fine ceramic kitchenware to prevent chipping or breakage.
