French Butter Crock with Lid, Ceramic Butter Keeper that Keeps Butter Soft on the Counter, White, Black or Light Blue
Butter kept covered and soft on the counter, ready for warm toast.
Details
A French-style butter crock in two parts: a straight-sided base and a lid with a short, flared cup underneath. You press the butter into the cup, turn the lid over and set it in the base, so the butter sits upside down and stays covered on the counter. The White crock is glossy and carries the word Butter in a small black script on the front.
It stands about 9 cm tall, close to the height of a coffee cup, so it fits on a breakfast tray or next to the bread board without taking over. Choose White, Black or Light Blue. It also keeps soft cheese covered.
Wash both parts by hand and let them dry before you fill the cup again.

Why it earns its place
Two-part design
Butter goes into the cup under the lid, which then sits upside down in the base.
Breakfast-table size
About 9 cm tall, close to a coffee cup, small enough for a tray next to the jam.
Three colors
White with a small black Butter script, Black or Light Blue, all in ceramic.
In your home
Keep it by the toaster or on the breakfast table so the butter is soft when the bread comes out. At about 9 cm tall it sits comfortably on a tray next to the jam jar and the coffee pot, and the lid keeps crumbs and dust off the butter.
The glossy White crock suits a white or wooden kitchen and has a classic French farmhouse look. Black looks sharp on marble or a dark counter, and Light Blue brings a little color to a plain breakfast table.
Materials and quality
The crock is ceramic and comes in two parts that fit together: a straight-sided base and a lid with a short, flared cup on its underside. The cup holds the butter upside down inside the base, the French way of keeping butter on the counter instead of in the fridge. It stands about 9 cm tall. The White version has a glossy finish and a small black Butter script on the front.
Care and everyday use
Wash the base and the lid by hand in warm, soapy water and dry both parts before refilling the cup. Change the butter regularly and clean the cup each time you do. Avoid scouring pads on the glossy surface, and keep the crock away from the stove and other direct heat sources.
