Description
This lidded stoneware butter dish is made for the Christmas table. A garland of spruce sprigs runs along its sides, with little ornaments hanging from it: a pig tied with a bow, a candy cane and a bauble. The body is cream and the flat glazed lid sits neatly on top and lifts straight off. It measures 12.5cm long, 9.5cm wide and 7cm tall, with a capacity of 250ml and a weight of 0.63KG, so it is a compact dish that keeps the butter covered without crowding the plates around it.
Put it out for Christmas breakfasts, festive brunches and the long lunch on the day itself, where it sits beside the bread basket and keeps the butter close at hand for toast, rolls and warm pastries. Between meals it goes back in the fridge or onto the kitchen counter with its lid on. It suits anyone who likes to lay a proper table through December, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a host or a friend who loves a festive kitchen. As a covered dish it also works well for soft cheese or a little brandy butter for the pudding.
The decoration is a decal with handpainted details, which gives the little motifs a gentle, drawn-by-hand quality. Care is easy: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can go in the microwave and the oven as well, so there is no need to keep it for best. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which suits a dish that comes out every day of the holidays. For styling, stand it on a wooden board with a butter knife and a sprig of fresh greenery, or pair it with plain tableware so the garland pattern has room to show.
