Le Creuset Stoneware Butter Crock

Butter crocks have been in use in parts of Europe dating back to the Middle Ages, long before reliable refrigeration was available. These airtight ceramic vessels prevented butter from spoiling while keeping it at a reasonable temperature. The stoneware butter crock is inspired by classic crock designs, blocking out air that can ruin butter, while approximating room temperature to keep the butter soft without melting.

Features:

• 6-ounce countertop crock made of high-fired stoneware
• Non-porous enamel finish; resists odors, staining, chipping, and cracking
• Keeps butter soft and ready to use for up to 5 days
• Distinctive tight-sealing lid with a wide, flat knob; dishwasher-safe
