For some time I've been thinking of making a covered butter dish but hesitated because of the complexity of the task, butter dish template tribulations. Today I decided to push through my hesitation. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say. There are different sizes of sticks of butter to consider. I read East of the Rockies in the U.S. most butter is sold in sticks which measure 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 5 inches. West of the Rockies in the U.S. most butter is sold in sticks that measure 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Then I measured my stick of butter and it's 1 1/4 by 4 3/4 inches. Oh brother. There's clay shrinkage rates to consider. My white stoneware shrinks 11 1/2 percent when fired to cone 6. Then I reasoned I need to allow for a little space between the cover and the stick of butter so it doesn't stick to the cover on the inside or top. I also need to allow for the thickness of the clay form when fired. After calculating size, shrinkage, and extra space, I decided to wing it. I grabbed some bubble wrap as texture and made a butter dish large enough to hold either size stick of butter. If you have measurements for a butter dish you'd like to share please let me know. I'll post my measurements after final firing if my butter dish turns out. I'll be at the farmer's market Saturday from 7 am to 1 pm. Hope to see you there. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

Handmade butter crock designed with an encircling pattern of hand painted coneflowers in pale pink. Clear glaze allows the natural ivory clay to be the background color of the pottery butter keeper. Video is actual product you'll receive. Photos may be representative of the butter keepers design elements. Each pattern is hand-painted so no two butter keepers are the same. Wheel-thrown stoneware clay with hand drawn floral pattern similar to coneflowers and finished with clear, food-safe glaze. Butter crocks are designed to keep butter fresh and spreadable at room-temperature by creating a seal with water. Butter dish can also be used without water. Use butter keepers by pressing softened butter into the bell-shaped lid portion and filling the bottom portion with water - a tablespoon or two. Change the water every few days. Butter in photo is a full stick (4 oz) and not pressed into cup. Hand washing recommended but pottery is dishwasher safe. Size (w x h): 4 x 2.75-inches, Weight: 15 oz (7 oz) Weight in parentheses is the weight of the butter cup portion alone. Every effort to photograph color as accurately as possible is made, but I cannot guarantee that what you see is an exact representation due to the differences in monitors. If you are uncertain, please contact me for additional photos.
