Maybe you feel a twinge when, at dinner, you bring out the butter on a small saucer. Or maybe on a cutting board that you'd rather be using for something else. Or maybe you don't even bring out butter at all, unless someone asks for it, just because you don't know what to carry it to the table with. Wouldn't you rather your guests get a twinge of envy?

This hand-built, hand-painted butter dish solves all your problems! It's functional, doesn't take up much room either on the table or in the refrigerator between meals, and as each one is made by hand, they will differ slightly on exact texture placement. If there are multiples shown in the listing pictures, first photo will always be the one currently offered. 

This piece is glazed with non-toxic, food-safe glazes and is fine to wash in the dishwasher.

HaldeCraft ceramics begin life as slip-cast, hand-built, or wheel-thrown pieces (or sometimes a combination of all three techniques) and then are painted and glazed and put out into the world, all by the hands of one person. I learned ceramics like an old-school apprentice, at the feet of my grandmother who had a studio in the 1950s and 1960s, and many of the pieces I make incorporate now-vintage molds that she bought then. My pieces are unique, hand painted, and proudly made in my own home studio with confidence, mindfulness, and joy.
