Know before you buy
Yes, the dish is designed to accommodate a standard stick of butter comfortably.
Because this piece is crafted from hand-blown glass, we recommend hand washing it to preserve the integrity of the textured finish and the tortoiseshell pattern.
The lid features a clean, minimalist design without a protruding knob, relying on the dome shape for a secure grip when lifting.
The tortoiseshell pattern is integrated into the hand-blown glass, giving it a rich, depth-filled appearance that won't chip or fade like a surface coating.
With a 3-inch diameter, this butter dish has a compact footprint, making it ideal for smaller tables or crowded countertops.
