A stylish butter dish

Can you find me one? They all seem a bit clunky and easily chipped.

Green is my kitchen colourway.

Not all greens are the same so it's a tricky challenge! Try the green porcelain butter keeper with wooden lid on Amazon: it's more a dish than a plate with a cover so less likely to get damaged.

I love this one.

Not sure how sturdy it would be though.

Loads of stunning Jade milk glass examples in America, but not so easy to find here.

This one isn't clunky, though it would be £27 which is quite a lot.

Not cheap, I know, but I love my Le Creuset one. Had it for years and never damaged it. Easy to use and goes in the dishwasher.

What kind of butter dish do you prefer?
I only like the ones where the butter goes in a dish with sides and has a flat lid. They seem harder to find than the plate with a lid that has sides.

DoingItForTheKid · 30/12/2020 11:46

You guys are good!

Sage green here. I like lid with sides on flatter dish.

Must be dishwasher proof too.

I love LSA. Would the wood lid be OK in dishwasher

My stylish butter dish is stainless steel Wink

Pinkstump · 30/12/2020 12:23

I have an enamel one like this. It's dishwasher safe (not sure about the lid but that never really gets dirty anyway), durable, sylish, fab all round 😁

domesticslattern · 30/12/2020 13:10

I have the LSA one OP.
I was initially a bit suspicious about the wooden lid as it doesn't go in the dishwasher. I am a slattern as per my user name. But it takes about 30 secs once a week (or fortnight or whatever) to wash and dry it when we finish a block of butter and clean the dish. It is going strong and hasn't split or gone smelly.

This is an old thread about butter dishes which has some lovely ones on...

We have a Le Creuset one, bought in a sale.

HouseyHouse21 · 30/12/2020 18:55

I got a Kilner glass one recently - I like that I can see how much butter I have left without opening it up. Not fancy, but functional!

topcat2014 · 30/12/2020 18:58

Please talk to me about butter dishes. We use various spreads day to day but I bought actual butter to make brandy butter.

If you have a butter dish is the idea it doesn't go in the fridge?

Whiteclaw · 30/12/2020 19:02

Currently out of stock, but I have one of these and love it. Sturdy, goes with anything and a complete bargain

I have this Le Creuset one bought in TK Maxx for about £12

Honeywort · 30/12/2020 19:12

I love the Alessi butter boat - I cut a block of butter in half lengthwise and it fits perfectly. Goes in top rack of dishwasher too.

DoingItForTheKid · 31/12/2020 11:07

Wow, that's a huge prior thread!

I think Creuset in Rosemary wins for me.

Thanks all.

I am looking at a Oliver Bonas Passaro Leaf Green Ceramic Butter Dish.

OHolyTights · 01/01/2021 13:29

I hope this doesn't lead to a Le Creuset addiction, OP. You're not truly a MNetter till you've got one, you know. I'm thinking we should start a support group. Xmas Wink

I never did get round to buying the Anthrologie Eris round dish from that other thread and now it's gone.

Whitney168 · 01/01/2021 14:21

I want the lovely round butter dishes that I think both @aurora12digits and @cornberry had on that other thread.

Ninkanink · 01/01/2021 14:28

I was going to recommend Le Creuset.👍👍
