I ordered this Butter Bell because I’ve been doing a lot more baking lately, making fresh breads and scones regularly. The one thing I kept running into was rock-hard butter straight from the refrigerator- not ideal when you want something that spreads smoothly without tearing up warm bread. This ceramic butter crock solves that problem beautifully. The butter stays soft, spreadable, and ready to use right on the counter, which has made breakfast much more enjoyable. It also keeps the butter protected and fresh. I was nervous at first because the crock is a fairly substantial ceramic piece and I worried someone in the family would chip or break it quickly. Happily, it’s proven to be sturdier than I expected. We’ve all been using it daily and it still looks perfect, not even a scratch so far. The matte black finish is modern, like my decor, and attractive. We leave it out on the counter all the time. This is a super practical kitchen item for anyone who enjoys fresh bread, baking, or just easy-to-spread butter.

When asked to review this item, I was unsure how to proceed. It's a crock....for butter...it makes butter better. I have wanted one for a long time since both my in-laws and parents like to leave butter out in the open air mingling with god knows what. Little bit of crumbs, pet hair, dust, maybe bug poop...a day or two and that is no longer butter but a Petri dish of the Black Plague and gross! This crock seals the butter goodness inside using simple water, keeps it at a solid temp so no melty ooze, seals it from the plague of contaminants and provides spreadable butter that won't mangle the most sensitive of breads. It's a crock, but the good kind. It is as described, arrived Amazon fast, good quality and will be a delight on any kitchen counter, not the beginning of a horror story. When the lid is off, it makes a beautiful vessel for any table for guest to partake in buttery goodness while feeling more cultured than they really are. It's fancy, it's arty, and it works. Worried what level of biohazard you butter is? Well, worry no more...get this crock!

If you are going to purchase one of these, this is the one to buy. Heavy, thick walled, well cast, gloss finish. Works as designed and keeps the butter spreadable. One stick of butter fills it right to the top, no extra room for more. No mark on the water bowl for filling with the right amount of water, so a 1/3 cup measuring cup is needed to correctly fill the water volume, and not guess. I took off a star for this deficiency. Yes it costs double of another I purchased but it was worth it to me. Highly recommend.

I love love this butter bell. I have left butter out on the counter my whole life. It was always unsightly and messy looking. This item stows the butter neatly and keeps it safely enclosed. I lit keeps the butter at a PERFECT consistency for spreading. the sturdy handle doubles as a nice base when open. I would recommend this item a million times over. A great value!

Looks great on the counter, stays fresh and always spreadable

Great item but i need one that holds at least half a pound. I cant be doing this one stick at a time thing anymore!

good product

Absolutely fantastic, enables butter to be kept out of the fridge and spreadable!! Brilliant! Great design and finish. Must remember to change the water regularly but love it. Highly recommended

This little butter bell is awesome! Beautifully made, we keep it on our counter and it looks sharp. It keeps the butter soft whereas other ceramic butter dishes do t work and butter is still so hard. Highly recommend! Worth every dollar if you want soft butter!

Love this butter bell. Although it’s smaller than I expected the butter always stays fresh and creamy. It’s pretty enough to keep on the counter so convenient as well!

Works really well, keeps butter fresh on the counter. Beautiful quality.
