French Butter Dish
Legend has it that years ago the French developed a system for storing their
butter without refrigeration. They designed a pottery vessel like this one
in which the butter was neatly packed into the lid of the pot. Then enough
water was put in the bottom to cover the lower edge of the lid creating a
vacuum sealed container to store the butter safely. Our French Butter
Dishes work on the same principle. These storage vessels hold about a stick
of butter and keep your butter fresh and soft without
refrigeration. They look beautiful too! We hope you will enjoy our
one-of-a-kind, handcrafted butter dishes as much as we do!
