Crafted from durable professional grade porcelain, this butter crock is fired at high temperature and finished with an underglaze color process. It is lead free, cadmium free, and designed to resist chipping and color fading. The porcelain offers a stable surface that stays cool in the fridge and safe for dishwasher reuse. The hardware features a two piece inverted bell shaped lid that creates an airtight seal when nested over the crock, helping to keep butter soft and spreadable while protecting it from dust and contaminants. The embossed pattern adds subtle texture and visual interest, giving the container a timeless kitchen look that blends with both modern and traditional decor. The compact design makes it convenient for counter top storage, yet it fits comfortably in most refrigerators. Use this butter crock to hold softened butter for easy room temperature spreading, while its neutral tones help it coordinate with a range of serveware and dinnerware. The setup is simple: fill the top with kept softened butter and add cold water to the base until the water line is submerged, then keep the lid in place for a natural seal. This item is suitable for everyday use and occasional entertaining, and it supports food safety through inert materials and non reactive finishes. Material: Ceramic.
