CUSTOM ORDER. French butter keeper, MEDIUM. White Body, Blue Dot. Butter Bulbs™. Photos are of similar Butter Bulbs™

This is my MEDIUM version of a French butter crock and holds 1 stick of butter (1 stick = 1/2 cup = 4 oz = 118 mL = 113 grams).
Size are approximate due to handmade nature. 3.5 inches tall x 3.5 inches wide (9 cm x 9 cm).

Made of porcelain and thrown on the pottery wheel, I've carved a ridged pattern into the body, giving it beautiful detailing and better grip.

Here's a fun video of me making the Butter Bulbs™ in my Seattle studio.

My take on the French Butter Keeper. French Butter Dishes keep butter soft AND fresh on the counter top. Fill the top with butter, fill the bottom with water and the water will create enough of a seal to keep the butter fresh at room temperature. It feels sweet in the hand, very ergonomic. My design is a shallow version of the typical French Butter Dish cylinder for better butter holding and access. I call mine "Butter Bulbs™". Nice for serving goat cheese or other soft spreads too, though I would keep those in the fridge till serving.

Some French Butter Dish guidelines:
-If you use unsalted butter, salt the water. (deters mold)
-Change the water every 3-4 days
-Store out of direct sunlight (hot + butter = melted butter!)

Made of porcelain, thrown on the pottery wheel, fired at cone 6 (2200 degrees F.) Food safe, dishwasher safe, microwave safe. The notches/holes in the foot pedestal allow water to drain in the dishwasher.
