Description
This enamel butter dish pairs a creamy white body with a fine coloured rim, and it comes in two colours: Blue or Pistachio Green. It is made from enamelled steel, with a shallow rectangular base and a deep fitted lid topped by a rounded loop handle you can lift with one finger. The coloured line runs around the edge of the base, giving it the look of traditional camping and farmhouse enamelware. It measures 19.4cm long, 11cm wide and 6.6cm tall, and weighs 0.282KG, so it is light enough to pass along the table.
A butter dish earns its place on the table every morning, and this one suits a country kitchen, a cottage dresser or a modern kitchen that favours simple, practical pieces. The rectangular base gives a block of butter room to sit flat, and the lid keeps it covered between slices of toast at breakfast. Choose Blue for a crisp, classic contrast against the white, or Pistachio Green for a softer shade that sits happily with sage, cream and natural wood. Both carry the relaxed, retro look that has made enamelware a favourite in British kitchens for generations.
Enamelled steel means a sturdy steel body under a smooth, glassy coating that wipes clean easily. As general good practice for enamel, wash it by hand in warm soapy water, dry it straight away and avoid abrasive scourers, which can dull the surface. Treat it kindly around hard edges and stone worktops, since a sharp knock can chip enamel. Keep it out on an open shelf or dresser between meals so it is always to hand, or wrap it up as a simple, useful present for anyone who loves a well laid breakfast table.
