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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps your butter cool, fresh, and ready to spread, December 1, 2008

Emile Henry Auberge butter pots are the perfect addition to your breakfast table or afternoon tea. This glazed ceramic crock is a time-tested design, and keeps your butter fresh, cool and spreadable thanks to a reservoir of cold water that you replenish every few days (the water creates an airtight seal). It holds 8 oz. (one cup) of butter, plenty to satisfy the whole family at mealtimes. No more rock-hard pats of butter when your toast or rolls are ready! Plus, this new color (figue) coordinates beautifully with Fiestaware's heather dishes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Butter Pot/Butter Bell, November 16, 2011

Compared to the previous Butter Bell I had (That I broke) this Bell is not what I was hoping for. I usually only put 1 of the 1/4 sticks of Butter in my Bells. For my Butter usage level this allows the butter to be used without having been set out too long. With this Bell and 1/4 stick of Butter, getting to the Butter is a hassle. Also the Butter had a tendency to fall out, something that never happened with my previous Bell. My previous Bell had a smaller Bell/capacity & "rough" walls, possibly the smooth walls of this Bell are more susceptible to Butter sliding out.

This is EXCELLENT! It keeps the butter fresh and ready to spread whenever you need it. I am crazy about the color too and bought the rest of the dish set and it is just as great!
