Description
This butter dish is a round stoneware piece in two parts: a shallow base with a raised rim, and a domed lid that sits neatly inside it, topped with a rounded knob that is easy to lift. It measures 16cm across and 10.5cm tall and weighs 0.77KG, a comfortable size for the middle of a breakfast table. A multicoloured floral pattern covers the dome, with leafy branches, open blooms and a small bird perched among them, the kind of detail that makes people look twice.
It belongs on the breakfast table, where the dome keeps the butter covered between rounds of toast, and it is just as much at home at a weekend brunch or an afternoon tea. Lift the lid and the base works as a small serving plate for butter, a wedge of soft cheese or a few curls of herb butter beside fresh bread. It suits a cottage kitchen or a country look, and anyone who would rather keep a pretty butter dish out on the counter than tuck the butter away in the fridge. We think it makes a thoughtful gift for a new home or a keen baker.
The dish is made of 100% stoneware, and the floral pattern is applied as a decal, with a glossy sheen across the whole piece. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired ceramic, which is why it is such a favourite for pieces used every day. Care is refreshingly easy: the maker states it can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so there is no hand-washing after breakfast. For a relaxed table, stand it on a linen cloth beside a bread board and a butter knife, and let the pattern do the talking.
