Know before you buy
Yes, with dimensions of 8.5 by 4.5 inches, this dish comfortably accommodates a standard stick of butter, including those with slightly larger dimensions.
While the piece is glazed and durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the handmade slip decoration and the finish over time.
No, each butter dish is wheel-thrown and hand-decorated by artist Carrie Day. Because of the artisanal process, you should expect slight variations in the slip patterns, making your specific dish a one-of-a-kind item.
Red earthenware has a substantial, solid weight that provides good stability on your countertop. It is heavy enough to remain stationary during daily use.
The lid is designed to sit securely on the base, providing a protective cover that keeps your butter fresh and shielded from debris while sitting out at room temperature.
