{"title":"Ceramic butter dishes","description":"\u003cp\u003eI started making French butter dishes because cold butter on toast is one of those small daily frustrations I wanted to fix. You know when you spread it and it just tears the bread, sitting there in hard little chunks? That's what I was trying to solve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the butter crock works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach handmade stoneware butter dish uses the traditional French crock method: press soft butter into the lid, fill the base with a little cold water, and the seal keeps everything fresh and spreadable at room temperature for days — no fridge needed. Change the water every two or three days and that's it. I also use mine for herb and spice butter — a little garlic and parsley, or honey and cinnamon — and it keeps those just as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in this collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery butter dish here is wheel-thrown stoneware, hand-glazed one at a time in my studio in Latvia. You'll find a white speckled ceramic butter dish for a softer, farmhouse-kitchen look, and a dark blue version in two finishes — one with a textured lid I shaped by hand, one with a smooth glossy glaze. All three hold around 180–200g, enough for a standard butter packet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an artisan working alone, I make each butter keeper individually, so small variations in glaze and shape are part of what makes it yours. A handmade ceramic butter dish like this also makes a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift for anyone who bakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e— Jogita\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"french-butter-dish-white-speckled","title":"Butter Dish | White Speckled Stoneware | Handmade","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhite speckled glaze is one of my favorite finishes, it has a soft, handmade look that fits any kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI made this French butter dish so your butter stays soft and ready to spread, without living in the fridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 10px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions and care:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 4px 0; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 12 cm diameter, 8 cm tall, holds about 180-200g of butter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e stoneware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e white speckled glaze, food safe and non-toxic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e dishwasher safe, hand washing keeps the glaze looking its best over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 10px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 4px 0; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft, spreadable butter:\u003c\/strong\u003e fill the base with a little cold water to create an airtight seal, press your butter into the lid, and it stays fresh and ready to spread without the fridge.
