Play with the rules of etiquette when you bring this handmade butter dish to the table, cheekily pretending to be a block of butter still in its wrapper. To create this Katie studied a block noting all the corners dinks, softly curving edges and the crisp paper fold at each end. To make a realistic model, then a plaster mould to cast this ceramic dish.

A tactile piece with the word BUTTER recessed on top. The lettering can be hand painted in Blue, Green or Red. Alternatively you can keep things classic and choose the clean lines of the Plain option.

No butter fingers hear with the raised lip on the base making it easy to pick up.

Team with the matching Milk Carton, Sugar Pot or Egg Cups to make a joyous gift.

Care: To keep your butter dish looking its best, avoid leaving the lid sitting in butter. If butter gets onto the bottom edges of the dish, wipe clean with a damp cloth.

As a whole W 165mm x D 130mm x H 70mm
Lid W 135mm x D 98mm x H 55mm
Base W 165mm x D 130mm x H 22mm

Finished with transparent food safe glaze.

Dish washer and microwave safe, just to make life a little easier.

Katie Brinsley Ceramics

Hawkhurst, Kent

I love making, I can’t help it, my hands get restless when I’m not. That’s how Katie Brinsley Ceramics started, with my hands. They momentarily let me down as my friends treasured butter dish slipped out of them smashing on her floor. This inspired me to make the best possible replacement! I chose slip casting for its beautiful clean lines and tactile smooth finish that makes an everyday object a delight to use. I haven’t stopped making my ceramic tableware since.
