Know before you buy
The Terrafirma Butter Dish is designed to fit a standard East Coast butter stick.
No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Because it is handmade art pottery, we recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the hand-painted finish.
The dome lid is designed for aesthetic presentation and standard storage, but it does not feature an airtight seal.
Every piece is designed and crafted by artisans in New York City, reflecting the brand's commitment to American-made functional art.
To maintain the integrity of the abstract Braid Citrus pattern and the opal glaze, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Simply wash by hand with mild soap and dry thoroughly.
