xMeet the Original Butter Bell Crock
Designed by L. Tremain, the Butter Bell crock set the standard for table-ready butter. Its two-piece, inverted-lid design keeps butter soft and spreadable, so you can enjoy a smooth spread without the need for constant refrigeration. A simple pour of cold water into the base, followed by packing the lid with softened butter, creates an airtight seal that helps preserve flavor and freshness between uses. The crocks are crafted to hold a standard stick of butter (1/2 cup / 125 grams) and are easy to refill, making everyday meals and weekend gatherings a little more convenient.
Café Matte Aqua: style meets practicality
The Retro Café collection features a matte glaze in exclusive hues that coordinate with modern kitchens and tablescapes. In the Aqua version, you’ll notice a soft, contemporary finish paired with the delicate raised relief that reads "butter" and "beurre" on opposite sides of the base. This design choice blends with a wide range of décor, from a casual breakfast nook to a polished dining room setup, while still serving the practical purpose of a durable butter keeper.
Quality you can see and feel
Crafted from a proprietary high-grade ceramic blend called New Bone China, the Butter Bell crock is fired at high temperatures to deliver a scratch-resistant glaze with lasting appeal. The glaze is formulated to be lead- and cadmium-free, giving you peace of mind with daily use. A two-year limited warranty reinforces the confidence in its durability and craftsmanship.
