Description
This is a lidded butter dish in stoneware, a compact rectangular box 12.5cm long, 9cm wide and 7cm tall with a 300ml capacity. The base is covered all round in a blue floral pattern of small daisy-like flowers framed by rings of fine dots, and the lid carries the word butter in simple lowercase lettering, so nobody at the table has to guess what is inside. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, and this dish comes in at 0.642KG, a solid weight in the hand.
At this size it is a dish for the butter you are working through day to day rather than a bulk store, so it sits happily beside the bread board or the toaster and goes straight to the table at breakfast. A lid keeps butter covered against crumbs and the open air of a busy kitchen, and with butter written on the lid it looks at home on an open shelf or a dresser among everyday cups and bowls. We think it makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for anyone who likes a properly laid breakfast table, and it suits a country kitchen as well as a small flat with a single stretch of worktop.
The pattern is a decal print finished with handpainted details, so each dish carries a touch of the hand as well as the print. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can go in the microwave and the oven as well, so you can lift the lid and soften fridge-cold butter in the dish itself. To style it, set it on a wooden board with a jar of jam and a stack of plain plates, and let the blue pattern bring a little colour to the breakfast table.
