To ask you to show me your butter dish

[MixedFamily]

Following from the (ver popular!) thread about butter I started s few days ago, I decided I want a butter dish to start keeping part of the butter outside the fridge.
Need inspo, how about a show me a pic of your butter dish thread? 😆

Ah, no, don't return it! Just looking at it must make you smile, so worth its weight in gold, really😉

I've had this one for about 10 years. Love it!

While I like the idea of butter dishes I can't stand them in practice. That's because my DP takes the lid off and puts it down on the table that might be covered in crumbs (he manages to get them everywhere). And then puts the lid back on so crumbs get in the butter. Alternatively he manages to smear butter right to the edge so when the lid goes on the table some butter goes with it.

So I've given up and just use a small plate. Much tidier.

Me too!

I have this, i love him!

I have a navy le creuset. Courtesy of tk maxx.

I have a similar one and use it both ways depending on my mood when refilling it😆
I would really like one of the French ones. Maybe one day, when this one breaks. I suspect it will never break as I knows I don't love it

I will have to look for one similar to yours. My kitchen has dozens of red accents.

This is my current butterdish.

This is mine too but blue

This one....can put cool water in the base in summer. The butter can stay out of fridge yet be spreadable. I think it's from the US so a bit narrow for a UK 250g block of butter. But since most of them have shrunk to 200g, they're a better fit. Had to be a sliver lining to CoL!😀

I previously had one with a shallow base and deep lid. One hot summer I just had a lake of butter trickling over the worktop, so only buy the container type now.

Can't remember where mine's from, but I've had it a long time, amazingly, cos I break everything.

I’ve been keeping my butter out for years. I have this one. It’s Cath Kidston and it’s great.

The butter isn’t years old, just the butter dish.

I don’t know why but there is something comforting about a butter dish. It reminds me of my grandma.

It’s quite hard to see from my picture , I’ll admit .

It’s s whale, and his tail is the handle on the lid.
the dish at the bottom has waves along the sides.

it is really lovely and a nice size, not too big.

A friend of mine has the same one and when she saw mine, she said “obviously a mumsnetter “!!!

Also Le Creuset but got it for a fiver in an antique shop!

also had that one about 20 years. It does feel a bit bland seeing some of the others on the thread though

Me too 😩

I’ve got 2 plain cream butter dishes with lids as one can always go in dishwasher after use. I used to use spreadable but unsure how healthy it is. Butter dishes kept in a cupboard so butter is always soft. I even have butter knives too!

Loving some of these butter dishes, especially love the buddha one 😊. This is mine...

We used to have a lovely kitchen shop in Durham and I bought these over a few years. They are French and different sizes for different packs of butter.

This is such a cheering thread

I have a cow butter dish

I love mine, and it has a little calf on the inside too. Very pleasing to me!

Mine.

I've got the le creuset one in teal. It was £15 from TK Maxx.

No - out on the side so that the butter is soft to spread. I don’t put a whole block out at once though, I slice it into 3 or 4 chunks and put one out at a time - we don’t use that much butter!

Easily keeps for a week at room temperature without going bad. Sometimes in the summer it is too hot and has to go in the fridge, but very rarely.
