Butter Bell - The Original Butter Bell crock by L Tremain, a Countertop French Ceramic Butter Dish Keeper for Spreadable Butter, La Fleur Collection (Hand Painted Raised Floral)

Just what I was looking for! Keeps butter soft and fresh. Plus, the floral pattern is so nostalgic.

I saw someone on social media using one of these and I was, like, HOW does it keep the butter fresh?! Well, I don't know how it does, but it does. Since I received mine I have decided I simply cannot live without it - ever!I love butter. Real butter in the stick. But, taking it out of the fridge cold and putting on your toast just doesn't work - too hard to spread. The spreadable butters in the tubs that are soft just don't taste as good as REAL butter.Enter the Butter Ball. I admit, I was skeptical. I live where it is VERY hot - how could the butter not melt and drip? Well, it didn't. It is perfectly soft and will last for up to 3 weeks (a stick doesn't last me that long anyway). You simply soften a stick of butter by leaving it out an hour or 2, the smooth it into the Butter Ball (a stick fits to perfection). Then you fill the bottom part with exactly 1/3 cup COLD water (I change the water every other day per the instructions). And, you always have perfectly, delicious, soft butter.I am SO unbelievably happy with this purchase. Seriously, can't live without it now!p.s. I was told to buy this ORIGINAL one, not a knockoff. It was $25, a little pricey, but well worth it. It is even pretty - a very white ceramic - makes a nice gift. Love.

This is my second time purchasing this product. It’s perfect for keeping butter soft and fresh on the counter for toast, grilled cheese, etc. Quality is great and I love the simple design, can go with any kitchen!

i'm so glad i got this butter crock. keeps the butter perfectly spreadable and so easy to use. it's also pretty on the counter. the fact that the lid sits on the counter makes it easy to get the butter out without having to hold it. great purchase.

This is a quality product. Heavy and sturdy. I had been searching for a clean and convenient way to keep butter. When I came across this old design I knew it was perfect.

So far, it works as I expected. Well written, accurate description. "Does what it says on the tin." Which isn't always the case in the world today. So, overall I'm happy with it.

I love it. Its the perfect vintage look for my kitchen and works perfectly.

Purchased one of these in 2014 and over night we never bought another bucket of margarine or "spread" ever again. I didn't care for the speed with which the family went through oil based spreads, and saw this as a way to spread real butter on an English Muffin. But we never went back. Butter costs more but we use less, gone are the days of heaping blobs of the spreads and now we take a measured approach to butter and its usage. The Butter Bell has remained in use all these years. Dishwasher safe, keep the water fresh every couple days, keep it clean, soften a stick in advance, and it will be a go-to item!
