Traditions Pottery French Butter Dish

The dish consists of two parts: a bell that holds the butter and a base filled with water. When you invert the bell into the base, the water creates an airtight seal that prevents oxygen from reaching the butter, keeping it fresh and spreadable at room temperature.

For the best results, change the water every two to three days. This ensures the seal remains clean and the butter stays fresh for up to two weeks.

No, as long as the butter is packed firmly into the bell and is at room temperature when you pack it, it will stay securely in place due to the density of the butter.

Yes, the ceramic construction is fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple and efficient.

This dish holds between 1/2 and 3/4 of a standard stick of butter, which is ideal for daily use without letting large amounts of butter sit out for too long.

Yes, the pottery is durable enough to be used in both the microwave and the oven, though you likely won't need to heat the dish itself for standard butter storage.
