Ceramic French Butter Dish with Lid

Step 1: Add water
Fill the base of the dish with about 1–2 cm of cold water.

Step 2: Pack the lid
Gently pack softened butter into the lid, pressing down to remove any air pockets.

Step 3: Seal it
Invert the lid and place it into the base. The water creates an airtight seal that keeps butter fresh and spreadable.

Step 4: Store & enjoy
Keep the dish on your countertop or in a cool area of your kitchen. Replace the water every 2–3 days to maintain freshness.

Tips for best results:
Use fresh, high-quality butter for best flavour and texture.
In hot climates or during summer, change the water more frequently or store the dish in a cooler spot.
The dish is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the glaze.

It can go in either but if it is kept on the bench, it will stay easier to spread.

Yes, it does. However, it's best to keep the dish out of direct sunlight and on very warm days, move into the cupboard or a cooler spot in the kitchen to be safe.

Our ceramics are handcrafted in very small batches. Factors like weather, humidity and kiln temperature naturally create subtle variations in shape, tone and finish. No two pieces are exactly the same and that individuality is part of their charm!
