The elegant Butter Bell® crock is modeled after the original French butter crock. Made from high quality, durable stoneware, the Butter Bell crock will safely keep butter fresh without refrigeration. The 4" high crock's unique design preserves butter's delicate flavour while providing a practical and decorative solution for storing and serving 1/2 cup of butter. The unique design of the Butter Bell keeps butter at spreading consistency by reflecting outside heat while insulating and cooling the butter. Flavour and freshness are protected by an airtight seal of water at the base of the crock.
