xMeet the Butter Bell Original Crock
The Butter Bell crock by L. Tremain is a countertop staple for any kitchen that loves spreadable butter without refrigeration. Its two-piece design uses an inverted bell-shaped lid and a ceramic base to create an airtight seal, helping butter maintain its texture, aroma, and ease of slicing for longer periods.
In the Café Matte collection, the beige glaze adds warm, timeless charm to modern counters, breakfast nooks, or stylish tabletops. The deliberate raised relief pattern featuring the word butter on one side and beurrer on the opposite side adds a subtle nod to its French beurrier heritage while staying versatile for daily use.
