Portmeirion Sophie Conran White Covered Butter Dish | Butter Keeper with Lid for Countertop | Made from Fine Porcelain | Microwave and Dishwasher Safe

I discovered I really like leaving my butter out on the counter all the time a few years ago. I am a bread baker and it is so nice to already have soft butter to add to my bread recipes not to mention spreading on the bread once it is baked. Because I like the KerryGold Butter I have been using a small salad plate with a small bowl upturned on top of it for years. Needless to say this has not been the best solution but I could never find something large enough for the larger stick until now. I did hesitate due to the number of complaints about the lid fitting poorly. I must have lucked out because my lid fits perfectly in one direction and is only a little loopy the other direction. So my solution to that was to take some very light green fingernail polish and add the smallest dot to the rim of the lid and the bowl so they exactly match when you have the lid on correctly. I didn't tell any of the men in my household that is what it meant and days later asked and they said they figured it out by themselves. Problem solved. The lid is always on correctly and I have a wonderfully beautiful dish for my butter now with a lid that has a handle. The dish has a soft swirl design on the lid that is very pleasant to look at and will look great on my dining room table. I actually may buy a second one for guest and the dining room table since the price was so reasonable. I'd like to thank all those who did write all the five star reviews because they gave me the confidence to take a chance on this butter keeper. And I am glad I did.I did consider the butter keepers wtih the water below, but many said it was messy and the butter was always wet and those only housed one stick of butter which was not the best for my situation. This dish houses two sticks of regular sized butter side by side while still hard. We use out butter so fast we really don't have a problem though keeping it on the counter without the aid of water. I bake a lot. If we go away for a few days, it goes back in fridge or is not replaced for that period.

This is the second one I've purchased. The first one was very sturdy, but I knocked it off the counter, so it broke. After that I tried a couple of other butter dishes, both neither of which kept the butter tidy and both of the tops kept getting butter on them. I like this one because the butter is in a bowl-like dish with a relatively flat top.

I only did four stars because the lid doesn’t sit completely flush with the dish. But if I turn it to the other side it’s better. Overall I’m happy I bought it because it’s adorable and holds a wide stick of butter.

I like this butter dish quite a lot. We have Mikasa's Italian Countryside dinnerware Mikasa Italian Countryside 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8 and while it is not an exact match (I'm glad it's not,) this butter dish looks nice with our dishes. I may get the Sophie Conran large salad bowl as well. The function of the butter dish is what initially attracted me. We keep our butter out on the counter top, which caused the covers on traditional butter dishes to get messy as we cover the soft butter. This dish keeps the butter in the deep receptacle, which can hold two sticks, and covers with the flat lid. The lid is NOT a tight fit and would slide off if tilted. It looks very nice out on my counter.

Absolutely like that it's wide enough to hold an 8 oz. butter brick. Really like the functional simplicity of the flat lid design. This is a quality made product that came well protected in the packaging. Would absolutely buy again.

It looks great and holds a lot of butter but the lid is ill-fitting. It easily gets knocked off while on the counter. I wound up buying another one that has a lid with a lip to hold it in place.

The lid was completely misshapen causing it to not sit properly on the base. There were large gaps around the edges. I expected more for an over $20 butter dish.

It’s a replacement item for an original purchase. Thanks for making it available on Amazon.

Beautiful dish!

Can't think of anything to say in a negative way at all. Love Portmerion and so does my daughterinlaw now, it was a gift for her after she admired my butter dish. It has a large capacity and a full block (250g) of butter fits nicely into it. Plus it is excellent quality!

Hatte schon die gleiche Butterdose die leider verunfallt ist

Nous collectionnons cette gamme de Portmeirion par Sophie Conran si clairement, nous l'aimons beaucoup! Ce plat à beurre est joli et pratique. Parce qu'il est vitrifié, il est résistant à l'usure, ce qui est bien sûr essentiel lorsque vous utilisez un article de cuisine au quotidien.

Precioso... estaba feliz con mi compra hasta que la tercera o cuarta vez que la fui a sacar, la tapa, que no encaja, salió disparada y se rompió.
