Description
This earthenware butter dish brings a little spring meadow to the table, with a curled-up brown bunny resting on top of the lid as its knob. A low border of raised wildflowers in green, lilac, soft blue, yellow and pink grows along the front of the cover, set against a white glaze with a gently dimpled surface that catches the light. A tiny pale blue flower sits on the bunny's back, a detail that rewards a closer look. The dish is rectangular, 12cm tall, 19cm wide and 9.5cm deep, a neat size that sits beside the bread board without crowding the table.
Easter is its natural moment. Bring it out for breakfast over the Easter weekend, a spring brunch with family or an afternoon tea with friends, and the bunny does half the decorating for you. Its soft colours and meadow flowers also suit a country or cottage kitchen well beyond the holiday, so it can stay on the breakfast table, the dresser or the worktop right through spring and into summer. With its cheerful bunny and pretty flowers, it makes a thoughtful Easter gift for anyone who loves setting a lovely table, and a welcome change from a basket of chocolate eggs.
The dish comes in two parts: a flat rectangular base with a shallow raised rim, and a deep cover that lifts away by the bunny. Both are glazed earthenware with a smooth shine, and the wildflowers run along the front of the cover while the back is left plain white, so you can turn the flowers to face the room. To keep it looking its best, wipe the base and cover with a soft damp cloth and dry them well, and handle it gently, as a knock against a hard surface can chip it. For a gift, we like to wrap it with a fresh loaf for an Easter visit.
