This is an absolutely beautiful dish. I bought it to store my butter, but when I received it, I was surprised by its size (looks like it will hold MORE than a pound of butter).

Since we're a small family, I find it a little too large for an everyday butter dish, so I've converted mine to a desktop dish (to hold my cache of postage stamps). It's a great addition to my office decor and would also make a wonderful jewelry cask. The design is very beautiful and finely detailed; porcelain is of excellent quality. But not so great for butter storage unless you are a large family....

Update 1/16/12: I now use mine as a tea cask; it's the perfect size for holding an opened box of individually wrapped tea bags like these: Yogi Green Tea Super Antioxidant, Herbal Tea Supplement, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6). Just lay the bags flat in the box (2 stacks). Lovely!

I am not a person that usually takes such pleasure in a dish. I look for functionality, ease of use, and quality.

In this butter dish, all the needs I usually have for any item I purchase is met, along with the sheer joy of such a beautiful piece of china.

The size is large, holds two 1/2 cup sticks of butter. I didn't know if I would like having sides on the bottom of a butter dish, but it works well.

I highly recommend this dish to anyone looking for a butter dish. Whether you have a large or small family, the dish should meet your needs.

I am a big fan of toile prints and country stylings in my house, so when I was in the market for a butter dish, I was really excited to see this option. The Botanic Blue Butter Dish is even prettier in person, adding a bit of elegance between the milk cartons and eggs. My only complaint is that the atypical shape, with the lid on top, can make it a little harder to get at the butter. Honestly though, it's so lovely, it's worth it, especially to put out for a special dinner occasion. Sure to get compliments.
