I know butter comes in cubes but I’m partial to the round butter dish. These fit half a cube and is meant to be left out at room temperature. The other half? Wrap and keep in the frig so it stays fresh. I figure it takes a while for most people to go through a whole cube…It does for me any way.

I made the first round dish back at Nicky’s studio last summer. I’ve been using it for awhile and decided the lid needed a notch for the butter spreader handle to stick out of. A friend saw the picture of the bunny butter dish on facebook and wanted a monkey butter dish. Came out rather nice…my first sale to boot! Next batch will be with some brown stoneware.
