These French Butter Keepers are fantastic and I don't know why it's taken me so long to make them! They keep the butter fresh and perfectly soft. The bottom half has a small amount of water in it and the top half is filled with butter, when it's slotted into the bottom half the water creates a seal keeping the butter fresh, just refresh the water every couple of days.....easier than battling with rock hard butter over your morning toast.
French Butter Keeper, handmade glazed terracotta, soft turquoise glaze, dishwasher safe.
H-7.5cm D-8.25cm
Holds 90g of butter
Each piece in the collection is made with a warm toasty terracotta clay which is left exposed at the base to contrast beautifully with the smooth turquoise glaze that has lovely variations as it moves down the pot and highlights the lines and edges of the pieces.
Every piece is made by me in my studio in Belfast so small differences in size and glaze finish is normal and makes your piece unique.
Suitable for use in the oven and dishwasher but not recommended for the microwave as the dark clay heats up very quickly.
