BUTTER DISHES

[Rocktheboot]

Show us your butter dishes!!

mine is really boring. I'll find a picture

I have the lurpak one too... I think I saved coupons for it in the late 90s. It has survived a few moves! I would love the egg cups

Currently looking for a small one so we can have two as I'm gluten free and DH always leaves crumbs in the butter. Some lovely ones here!

bankitten those both gorgeous

I have total butter dish envy

i use little glass tupperwares. i need a butter dish. we love butter, long live butter.

Mine’s a whale and I love it. Cheers me up every morning.

Is the butter whale the new mumsnet scarf?

I found mine at a charity shop. Been to the shops today to replenish my butter stores. Lovely.

I buy lurpak spreadable. Does that count as butter?

I think so. It's just butter blended with rapeseed oil (no palm oil). Or Anchor, ditto.

I keep unsalted block butter in the fridge for cooking. I've got a butter dish in a Wedgewood design from about 30 years ago but never use it. If I wanted to put a bit out with a meal I'd just use a small dish.

Oh Mollpop, my parents had a whole load of that line, it really yanks my early 70's nostalgia.

Here's mine.

What strikes me about most of these dishes is that they're designed to look homey and comforting.

There's nothing comforting about a plastic tub of palm oil and preservatives.

That rabbit one, I want it! So many great butter dishes on this thread 😍

My brand new Le Creuset butter dish. Was going to order from them online but after advice on here I popped into Home Sense (owned by TK Max) and I’ve just picked this up for £12.99

This is my Art Deco butter dish from the 1930s - as you can see it’s in daily use. Love it! Found it at a flea market 20 years ago.

Mine is like this. Pyrex, I think the pattern is called Autumn Glory. It was a wedding present, and I have the matching casserole dishes and gravy boat too, but they only come out at Christmas.

Ah lads yiz are putting me to shame. I now need to get a funky butter dish. This is my boring offering:

I think I need another butter dish actually. If not two.

You know - one in use, one in the wash and one for emergencies. or something.

I’ve never seen one before! Do you keep it out of the fridge??

I got a butter dish for my 40th! It has a beautiful peacock on it.

moomaa my gran had a whole dinner service in that cottage stuff, plates, cups, saucers, tea pot everything! I'm sure it's in my mum's loft. Probably a butter dish in there too!

I posted these on the other thread. They are from eBay but I used to have the snowflake one and my partner has the curly pattern one. Love the vintage 70/80s feel! Current one v bland!

And the other...

Like this one

I have this missprint one. It makes me happy!

I've loved looking at everyone's butter dishes, thank you for sharing!

To whoever asked: I keep unsalted butter in mine as it is expensive/hard to get salted. Haven't had any problems but don't use it in the summer (hot country).

I have 2 of the glass cow ones. Love em
