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.

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!

Emile Henry's Butter Pot is indeed a keeper!
Keeps the butter spreadable and fresh.
No more margarine!
No more chemically manufactured fake butter!
One question I have to ask.
Why oh why, didn't we buy this sooner!

Ok- I have to say that this was a splurge for me. That being said, it is one of the simplest yet coolest kitchen tools I never even knew about. It keeps the butter fresh and perfectly spreadable. I was able to get almost 2 full sticks of butter in the pot. I haven't had any trouble with butter falling out at all. The only thing I would have liked is if the rim of the bell was glazed like the inside of the pot so it wouldn't feel like I was scratching it when I put my knife in there to get the butter out.

The color of the product is darker than indicated in the image. The pot holds about a stick of butter and stays fresh. I replace the water every few days. Overall, I'm very pleased.
