Handmade from stoneware. Stoneware is considered one of the more durable ceramics because it is fired at a much higher temperature than most.
How it works: French butter dishes are a traditional way to store butter at room temperature without it spoiling. The dish consists of two parts: a base that holds water, and a lid that fits snugly on top. The butter is placed in the lid (butter bell), which is then inverted and placed into the base, where the water creates an airtight seal to keep the butter fresh and spreadable. French butter dishes are a convenient and elegant way to keep butter at the perfect temperature for easy spreading.
