Tremain keeps butter soft, delicious, and spreadable for up to 30 days without refrigeration. Modeled after the original French design, the butter crock is made from durable new bone china. Available in a wide array of colors, the crock can match existing dinnerware or stand on its own to add a touch of color to the table. It goes from the kitchen to the tabletop with no fuss. Butter's delicate flavor and freshness are protected by an airtight seal of water at the base of the crock, safely keeping butter fresh and spreadable without refrigeration, odors, or spoilage. It also keeps butter at the perfect "spreading" consistency by reflecting outside heat while insulating and cooling the butter. To use, firmly pack one stick of softened butter into the bell-shaped lid, pour cold water into the base of the crock, and place the lid upside down back into the base of the crock. Store the crock away from heat or sunlight, and change the water in the base every two to three days. Cleaning is easy since the crock is dishwasher safe. ## Features - FLAVOR AND FRESHNESS - Modeled after the original French butter crock, The Original Butter Bell Crock by L. Tremain keeps butter fresh and spreadable for up to 30 days without refrigeration; no odors or spoilage. Two-piece design features an inverted bell-shaped lid and crock bottom for serving butter at the table, and protecting and storing the butter after each use. - COLORFUL SIMPLICITY - Add a little touch of bold to your kitchen with one of these colorful butter crocks. Featuring the word "butter" in English and French "beurre" etched onto each side of the butter keeper in a raised relief design with a stylish matte finish that blends well with any tableware or kitchen décor. - DURABLE HIGH-QUALITY MATERIAL - Made of highly durable new bone china that keeps butter fresh and spreadable without refrigeration. New bone china is a high grade mixture of liquid clay poured into a pre-cast plaster mold, then allowed to set for several hours. When dry, the Butter Bells are carefully removed from the mold, glazed and fired at 2200 degrees to create a durable and scratch resistant finish. - EASY TO USE FOR FRESH BUTTER - Pour cold water into the base, pack dry lid with softened butter, then add the lid to water-filled base, creating an airtight seal that preserves the butter’s flavor and freshness. Replace water in the base every 2-3 days for fresh, flavorful butter. - ENHANCE YOUR KITCHEN - Conveniently sized crock holds one stick of butter, the equivalent of one-half cup, and fits neatly on your countertop as a stylish accent to any décor.

It must be because it seems exotic since it's not like a typical butter dish, but I really like it as it keeps the butter soft and spreadable while keeping it cool. Being conscientious about keeping the water fresh every day is important, but it is so much easier to keep up with than a covered butter dish. The red is as pictured and is bright and deep - not orange or maroon, but RED. The crock is sturdy and can withstand the dishwasher although I hand wash mine. My family has been so funny about this and continues to invent different ways of bringing it up - "you do know they make covered dishes for butter" - "doesn't the water make it mushy?" I've even found it in the refrigerator after they've come by for a visit! I suppose you could keep it in the fridge if you wanted, but it really isn't necessary. It's so pretty and sits on the kitchen counter next to my red salt and pepper shakers and always has fresh, cool, spreadable butter whenever needed!UPDATE (July 2016) I finally found the photos! See how GROSS the butter dish was? Thank GOODNESS that mess is gone now. I LOVE LOVE LOVE "The Bell" as we call it. Also, a postscript, I've had this little cutie on my counter for years now and I'm not kidding about how my parents ASK about it every time! It's almost like an in joke between my husband and I because there is an unspoken smile we exchange each time this has happened. The Bell is like new, very sturdy, no chips or fading! I would buy one in EVERY color if I could, lol! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I saw one of these, and knew I had to have it! *by T***S on December 18, 2013* My fiance's grandmother has one of these at her house, and I had never seen one before that. I love it! it's so nice to be able to have butter at room temperature all the time. It works just as the description says it does, and it's simple to use. Soften a stick of butter just enough to pack it in the bell, and put a little bit of cold water in the crock. Changing the water every 3 days is no big deal. It's a small price to pay to have real, spreadable butter on hand all the time. The lime green color is awesome, too! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic *by M***U on July 23, 2017* I absolutely love this Butter keeper. I make my own Butter and they're just. I've been using mine for about 3 weeks now and it's a pleasure not fighting with hard Butter on a nice soft Corn Muffins. I also use it for store bought Butter.What I do is take a piece of Parchment Paper and fold it over 1 stick of butter. Then I 1st flatten it out with my hand to get it Started. I get my rolling pin and continue until it's soft. I then use a soft spatula and scrape the butter off and put it into the keeper. Works great. I'm enjoying mine and hope you will try this. Mine Packaged arrived on the day expected and packaged very well. I highly recommend this to everyone both Family and Friends and everyone else thinking about purchasing one, I have 2, haha. Thanks to the Seller and Amazon for offering us such a great product and price for this product.
