The Original Butter Bell crock by L Tremain, a Countertop French Ceramic Butter Dish Keeper for Spreadable Butter, Le Bistro, White with Blue Trim

A beautiful and functional ornament for the kitchen. This is a classic and well constructed piece with good aesthetics. It is large enough to hold about one stick of butter. It is used in conjunction with water in the base which help to preserve the butter - so make sure you don’t skip this step. We leave it on our counter and the butter has perfect softness and freshness, and we typically will keep it about one week on the counter without any issues.

Very nice well-made quality works perfectly would definitely purchase again

What every butter dish should be. Keeps butter fresh but still soft and ready to spread. Beautiful too! So happy with this purchase!

You can have soft, real butter by using a crock like this Butter Bell. It is kept outside the refrigerator and keeps the butter spreadable without rancidity (assuming you use it up in a few weeks?). You take a stick of butter, let it soften a little outside the refrigerator, then squish it into the top part of the Bell. You put a third of a cup of cold water in the bottom, and it acts like a seal to keep the air out, as I understand it. Apparently you don't have to put cold water in it everyday, although I renew the cold water every few days. It has worked well so far. No more putting hard chunks of butter on my morning toast!

Works great! Just don’t forget to change the water every 3 days! Easy enough to clean and truly holds a full stick of butter.

Lifting a slippery lid from a butter dish can be a risky proposition and annoying as all get out. I often left the butter uncovered to avoid it. After several trial and errors with different butter dishes, I read a review of this butter bell in a cooking newsletter and after browsing a large selection of colors and designs I bought this one. It’s a bargain because I no longer a worry about the lid slipping out of my hand. The bonus is it looks so nice on my kitchen counter and my butter no longer gets too soft to stay on a knife or too hard to spread.

Butter stays fresh and at room temperature - ready to spread on your favorite toast, muffin or pancake. I wasn't sure when I ordered it for Christmas presents, but my daughters and granddaughters loved them, so I bought one for myself. I am delighted with mine.

Super practical and makes life so much easier that the butter is thawed and ready to use and protected from any airborne bug, dust or debris that might come into contact. The style fits my kitchen perfectly. We bought one for my mom as well and she loved it
