This butter dish is much, much smaller than I expected. Trying to get the top over the stick of butter without schmearing the top with butter is next to impossible! And another thing............since when is Le Creuset made in Thailand??? From the looks of things, this will be a dust collector on the counter instead of a useful addition to my kitchen.

As a diehard Le Creuset fan, it pains me to diss this dish, but it's very poorly designed. It cannot accomodate the shorter, thicker sticks of butter so common now. After constantly scraping and prying butter from under the lid I'm going back to the cheaper, more functional models. Too bad.

When the butter softens and you put the dish in the refrigerator, the lid tends to stick to the bottom plate because the softened butter has spread somewhat. Instead of sliding a butter knife under the lid to pry it loose, or just let it sit awhile, my daugher pulled on the the little knob on the top of the lid and broke it off. I don't feel like spending another $25.00 so, we use it without the little knob at the top -- looks like heck, tho.

I really like this butter dish ~ the lid covers a stick of butter, with room to spare. The red really adds color to my table.

I love all things Le Creuset so I was especially disappointed with this purchase as the top holder broke off on two separate butter dishes I purchased. On the first purchase the top was dropped and I attempted to glue it back on with limited success, so I bought another and the second one broke by just picking up the handle. I have put an email out to Le Creuset and am hoping they will return it for a full refund.

This is a great addition to the red collection. Very nice design and awesome color.

this butter dish is a really nice red . i broke my first one and ordered another one right away. if you like red in your kitchen than this is a really nise item to add

The butter dish itself is great, we ended up getting it from a local store and cheaper.
Reason we went looking was because Amazon is useless at packaging. They put a ceramic butter dish in a box........and thats it! No bubble wrap to even seperate the two parts. just a box, with a butter dish. Thing was smashed to hell when it got to me. Amazons responce? oh dear, we'll send you another one in six weeks when we get some more!
Cancelled the order there and then.
