I love my butter dish! It’s unique and exactly what I was looking for at the same time. Peter was very kind answering my questions and shows wonderful attention and craftsmanship in his work.

I love this butter dish and am very happy with this purchase. I've used it every day since it arrived (a couple of months ago). Washes very well in the dishwasher and is a very sturdy and well-made butter dish. It is solid and does not feel fragile. I especially like the design because it is large enough for two sticks of butter at a time. The plate has little bumper walls on each end that fit just under the ends of the lid. This keeps the lid clean. The glaze is exactly as it was described. The little knob on top is the perfect shape to be able to pick up the lid securely, even with a little butter on your hands. I would definitely recommend this dish -- and Peter was a pleasure to work with. He was willing to help me with color choices should I decide to order another one in a different color. His work is lasting quality.

This is a great product and looks fabulous on my bench top and kitchen table. It was delivered quickly, unfortunately damaged. Peter replaced it immediately. He was a pleasure to deal with and I'm very happy with my purchase. This is a very stylish and unique butter dish!!
I hope he expands the range. I would buy a sugar bowl and cookie jar in this striking yellow, in an instant.

My friend was eyeing up this Butter dish for ages so my husband and I bought it as a surprise for his birthday. He was absolutely delighted! Peter was super helpful throughout and sorted a note for my friend and managed to get it posted in time for his birthday (which he didn't have to!!) they've already shown it off to their friends and parents at socially distanced garden parties 😊. Thanks again Peter!

I was looking for a dynamic butter dish. Something that would look impressive when put on the table, and was it. It easily takes a 250gram pack of butter, probably a 500gram too. I am very pleased with.

About the Artist
Peter Bowen studied graphic design at the West of England College of Art in Bristol and graduated with a BA degree. He is an accomplished designer, professional watercolour artist and ceramicist now living near Wells in Somerset, England.

His unique style of whimsical painting and ceramics have earned him an international reputation during the last 40 years with much of his work in private collections in Canada, the United States, Australia, France, Italy, Spain, Scotland, Ireland and England.

My paintings and ceramics are a great joy to create and allow me to spend endless hours dreaming up new designs and applying them to paper and clay. I enjoy drawing, painting and making ceramics and have become fascinated with the design and production of three-dimensional functional objects which are made from earthenware clay.

I roll out the clay (much like you would do with pastry) into slabs of about 0.125-inch (3mm) thickness. I then cut out individual pieces which are then assembled using a mixture called slip which is liquid clay, and this is the glue that holds the pieces together. This process is then reinforced with additional clay to form strong joints. Each piece that I make starts out as an idea based on my artistic and whimsical view of things that is then drawn full size on to tracing paper until I get the design and proportions that look right. I then transfer the design to a template that is made from a thick clear plastic sheet which can be used as a template to cut out the clay.

Each piece is handmade, unique and each one is slightly different. When each piece is assembled it is left to dry for about two weeks. The first firing in my own electric kiln is called a bisque firing to 998° C (1,828°F) this is when the clay becomes a ceramic material. Then I glaze the clock using my own glaze recipes and again each one is unique and hand-painted.

After the glaze is applied and left to dry it is then fired for a second time in my kiln which turns the glaze into a finish that is microwave oven safe, dishwasher safe and most important of all food safe. I do not use lead-based glazes.
