Know before you buy
This dish is designed to hold a standard 1/4 lb stick of butter, which is the most common size found in grocery stores.
While the piece is crafted from durable earthenware, we recommend hand washing to preserve the finish and integrity of this vintage item.
The lid features a clean, minimalist design without a protruding knob, relying on its perfectly fitted shape to be lifted easily from the underplate.
The Marin White finish is a soft, classic off-white rather than a stark, clinical white, giving it a warmer and more organic aesthetic.
This specific item is in exceptional like-new condition, meaning it has been well-preserved and shows no significant signs of use or damage.
