xTimeless design, modern convenience
Butter Bell is the original two piece ceramic butter crock designed to keep butter ready to spread without refrigeration in everyday kitchens. The base is filled with a small water bath, creating an airtight seal when the inverted lid, packed with softened butter, is placed back into the base. This setup aims to preserve flavor and texture as you cook or dine.
In the Midnight Black gloss version, the Cafe Retro Collection adds vintage charm with a glossy finish. The raised relief on opposite sides bears the words butter and beurre for a nod to traditional kitchen style, while the piece holds its own on counters and at the table.
Built to last and safe to use
- Durable New Bone China ceramic is fired to 2200 degrees, producing a scratch resistant glaze that stays bright over time.
