butter keeper

French-style butter crock. Hand-glazed with a blue and orange geometric pattern over glossy white. 

This pottery is hand-made from stoneware, a durable form of ceramic fired to thousand-degree temperatures. It’s microwaveable, lead-free, dishwasher- and food-safe; however, washing by hand is always recommended. 

Bare (unglazed) areas of clay have been sealed with Liquid Quartz, making them waterproof and resistant to stains and microbes.

*Measurements are taken at the tallest and widest points of the piece and approximated to the nearest 1/10”

The Science: water in the base of the trap creates an air-tight seal, preventing oxidation of fats which produce sour and rancid flavors.

 To Use

1. pack room-temperature butter firmly into the bell portion of the lid, being sure to push out any air pockets.
2. Pour ~1/2” cold water into the base, such that the bottom of the bell is fully submerged and water is coming into contact with butter. Add a pinch of salt to the water and change water weekly to prevent microbes.
3. Place the lid on the base to store fresh, spreadable butter for up to one month.
