Full description

This useful crock is designed to keep your butter fresh and soft at room temperature.

The lid has a hollow flange where you should pack the butter in.

This lid is turned upside down while serving butter, but kept in the base when not.

In the bottom pot you should add enough water to form a seal with the butter when the lid is in place.

This design was created before the days of refrigeration to keep butter fresh on the counter for several weeks. Be sure to change your water every few days to ensure the freshness of your butter.

I threw the two pieces on my pottery wheel using strong white earthenware clay, then added a few little stars to the lid.

I have glazed it in a lovely pale yellow speckle glaze..

The inside is white.

The whole dish when closed measures 13cm across the lid and 8cm high.

The butter chamber is 8cm across by 5.5cm deep. and I think this one would hold about 200gms of butter.

Dishwasher,oven and microwave safe.

Weight 825gms.

Items will be well packed--I'd hate any of them to get broken!

I am happy to combine shiiping and of course I will post to outside of the UK-contact me for costs.

Thanks for looking.
