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? 😆

HOW MUCH??

We have several of these rather cute tiny butter dishes:

In the evening, after clearing up after dinner or grabbing a glass of water to take to bed, we cut a 40-50g slice of butter from the block in the fridge and put it in one of these on the worktop. It's soft for toast the next morning and we usually use it up — sandwiches, toast, crackers — during the day. If I need butter for cooking I take it from the hard butter in the fridge.

It means you don't have a 250g block sitting around in a warm kitchen for days, but there's always some soft butter for bread/ rolls or whatever.

Hugely popular with guests, who get their own butter dish at breakfast and often go away and buy something similar for themselves, because it makes having fresh but soft butter so easy.

Oh I mean the lid slides around.

Oh OK. Not experienced that. Had my kilner one for ages

Here's mine, plain and simple for me

This is mine. It was left in our house when we bought it so I kept it. It's never had Lurpak in it.

I have Le Creuset in Pale Blue. Had it years and it's wonderful

😳

I had to look away sharply, it triggers my trypophobia!

Same, I picked up a job lot for £1 each at the market and have them to family.

Another vote for LC, in volcanic, classic. Worth every penny and probably my pride snd joy in the kitchen

This is ours.

This is mine, it was given free with a pack of butter. It was a few years ago though but I love it.

I don't think they're too bad TBH. Similar price to many that people have posted but better!

These are mine, we swap them around.

I have a LC in orange. Love it.

I would say the opposite - get a high sided one as it is easier to 'scrape' butter off the block into thin curls, as you can press the block against the sides. If there are no sides, what do you press the block against?

Comb the charity shops. I got mine for £2.00.

Mines the Emma Bridgewater polka dot one.

I want this one

I have had this for years amzn.eu/d/iD3gCsG
Sadly butter is a rare treat these days 😪

German, vintage, under a fiver. Has a proper bowl so no sliding around nonsense. Round so I can put the lid back whichever way I like. A rectangular 250g block fits with a little push.

This is my third butter dish, I've tried other styles (vintage silver dome on legs, rectangle) and they annoy me!

Denby Memories, bought in 1982 when I bought my first flat. Used daily ever since. 43+ years. I have no idea how much it was but I bet it was about a tenner. Pretty good vfm though.

Totally changed our life. We had two separate blocks of butter - his was in the fridge, mine was left out in a dish and periodically went in the microwave - now we share the butter!

This is mine . I absolutely adore it. Anyone who knows me know I'm mad about anything dachshund related . My friend bought it for me several years ago and it gets used most days but I worry in case I chip it so I bought a back up one from Vinted as you can't get hold of them anymore .
