Stoneware Butter Dish

A customer asked for a butter dish to match a sugar and creamer set she purchased from me many years ago. Took me a couple of attempts to figure out the shrinkage to fit over a cube of butter but not be too large to pick up. Then had to get the glazing right. People are seeing all kinds of animal faces… I like that.

These will go nicely with the leaf plates. Dishwasher safe. $40-$45 depending on size.
Green and cream colored versions of this butter dish on my Etsy site.

  1. Interesting shape on the butter dish lid. I can tell that you put a lot of thinking into it, like you said. Very nice work on the comblinations of glazes. What kind of glaze is that? I like how you put those colors together– Waychel
