Love a butter dish thread. Mine. Who would eat that utter shite margarine anyway, feminism or no feminism? My butter dish deserves all of its three pictures. It is a Queen of butter dishes. It is about to make a speech on the opening of my fridge.

I love the metal one. My grandparents had one the same.
I have 2 butter dishes. A mini white ceramic one and a beautiful brown one from a charity shop.
The thought of fresh butter in a dish, a butter knife and thick cut white toast (ideally toasted on an open fire) never fails to make me smile.

Cornberry that is beautiful but how does it fit a standard pat of butter? Is it huge? Where did it come from?

LakieLady · 14/10/2019 11:47

I wonder if anyone in the world actually owns this silver plated one. A mere snip at £499!

I had one of those, but the butler stole it after I fired him for quaffing all the vintage port and replacing it with cheap stuff from Lidl.

Mine :)

I'm missing out on this butter dish love by using Lurpak spreadable.
Do you just take your butter dish out of the fridge for a while before use, or not keep it in the fridge?

SpamChaudFroid · 14/10/2019 11:50

I have the Alessi tug boat too, it's beginning to crack though and I have no idea why. Maybe the plastic becoming brittle with age? I've had it nearly 10 years.

I remember LakieLady's steel 'n' wood combo from my childhood! My mother still has the matching snack trays, which only come out when she makes "curry". Crisps in one section, peanuts in another, desiccated coconut, raisins (in case there weren't enough already in said slurry curry. Keeping it traditional like.

@vampirethriller
Is that the one that was in the set of plates and bowls etc, they came free at a petrol station or something?

7Worfs · 14/10/2019 11:50

I’d have the silver one in a heartbeat if I was rich, it’s beautiful.

where does one find a whale butter dish??

Amazon.

Slack day in the tavannach household. Off to Primark to buy a very very sparkly dress.

Rocktheboot · 14/10/2019 11:52

OOHh! 😍 I LOVE all these butter dishes. I can feel a butter dish collection coming on..I will need to purchase a Welsh dresser for the purpose

I think @evilspiritgin is my favourite, but they are all so pretty

Does anyone own a butter bell? Very tempted but concerned that in summer the butter will just fall out into the water.

FizzyIce · 14/10/2019 11:53

Mine is an embarrassing bright green plastic one .. Blush

RiotAndAlarum · 14/10/2019 11:54

Mine is very simple (www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sainsburys-chunky-white-porcelain-butter-dish), but I particularly like that it's a dish rather than a pot, so I don't have to scrape butter out. Love yours, @lazylinguist!

7Worfs · 14/10/2019 11:55

@ShiveringCoyote that is so cute. Where is it from?

Butter bell sounds like something you’d use to alert the butler to bring you the butter dish 🧐

RiotAndAlarum · 14/10/2019 11:56

Ohh, and yours, too, @Cornberry

minipie · 14/10/2019 11:56

Ok, I’m going to experiment with keeping the butter dish in the larder!

I don’t understand the round butter dishes, pretty as they are. Butter comes in rectangles ... (can’t remember the 3D work for rectangle... cuboid?)

borntobequiet · 14/10/2019 11:56

Like this. Think it was about £2 from Morrisons.

@onalongsabbatical

If your butter dish goes missing you won't find it here...WinkGrin

Rocktheboot · 14/10/2019 11:59

@onalongsabbatical 🤣 that is beautiful actually

I now want to go to one of those paint your own pottery places and paint a TERF butter dish. or maybe Posie could start stocking 'woman' butter dishes

ShiveringCoyote · 14/10/2019 11:59

My DM got it in a charity shop (that's not my exact one, I'm not at home). She kept it as display only. I took it home to fulfil its buttery destiny.
