Product Description

Marcigny, a small town nestled between the hills of Southern Burgundy, has been home to Emile Henry for the past 150 years. Faithful to its origins, the entire production is carried out here. Thanks to its clay, rich in refractory properties, Burgundy has remained a fertile area for potters, passing on their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Clay, a natural and noble material, has been used since the mists of the time to cook or preserve food. While respecting the traditional techniques, Emile Henry has introduced technological improvements (Ceradon ) so that the dishes are more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock. Strong and durable, all Emile Henry pieces can be taken directly from the freezer to a hot oven, can go under a broiler and are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The natural clay is unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. All pieces are perfect for everyday use and carry a 3 year warranty against defects.

*I chose this butter pot over other similar items because I liked Emile Henry's lead and cadmium standards. According to the Emile Henry website, "There is no lead or cadmium in our products, all of the glazes meet California Prop 65, and all of the products are 100% food safe."
*Although neither the butter pot nor the packaging indicated where it was made, I called Emile Henry and confirmed that all Emile Henry products are made in France and contain no lead or cadmium. As long as this is true, I'm happy.
*The function of the pot itself is great. We enjoy having soft butter around.

This is a great butter crock. It fits 2 sticks of butter, and I've found that I can still use it with one stick w/o any problems. The butter doesn't fall out like I've read in other reviews.

This is a great invention. No more thinly sliced butter for my toast and then waiting for it to become spreadable. This is much more convenient and I wish I'd known this existed years ago!

I wasn't able to see this at a store before I purchased it on Amazon, but I was hoping it would be a color that would match a Fiestaware color. I thought it might be close to Sunflower, but I was thrilled to see that it's an almost perfect match to Marigold-a beautiful orangey/gold. I like that it's made in France, not China, and it's slightly bigger than other crocks. It fits about half a pound of butter (2 sticks). It's perfect for the fresh hunks of butter at the farmers' market. I've only had it a day, but I'm very happy with it so far.
