This Butter Keeper is hand-thrown from creamy-white porcelain clay and has a hand-painted - hand-carved "Anna's Red" Hellebore design and gold accents. It is glazed with a glossy dishware-safe clear glaze.
The butter crock, also known as a butter bell or butter keeper, is a two-piece butter dish alternative that keeps butter fresh on the counter for up to a month without refrigeration. The butter goes in the “bell,” which you place in the water-filled crock. With the bell inside the crock, it measures about 3.5" tall. The bell holds 7.5oz. One stick of butter is 4oz.
Treat gold accents as fine china - handle with care while washing, do not use an abrasive scrubber while handwashing, and do not allow the piece to rub against rough dishes in the sink. The thin layer of real gold will hold up to most dishwasher cycles, but it can be scratched because it is gold, and we recommend handwashing.
