Know before you buy
This piece uses a classic French-style design that creates an airtight seal with water, preventing oxygen from reaching the butter. This method allows you to keep your butter soft and spreadable at room temperature for up to two weeks.
The keeper is designed to hold approximately half a cup of butter, which is equivalent to one standard stick.
The lid features a wide, flat knob that is specifically designed to be inverted. Once flipped, it sits stably on your table, serving as a small, elegant dish for butter or other accompaniments.
While the ceramic is durable, we recommend hand-washing your MH Ceramics piece to preserve the finish and integrity of the handmade glaze over time.
To prevent the butter from slipping, ensure it is softened to room temperature before packing it firmly into the lid. Using a small spatula to press the butter against the sides of the lid will help create a secure bond.
