Butter dish

A classic: French tempered glass butter dish. Fight amongst yourselves as to which way up to use these. But if you prefer to cut your butter without it ending up a skanky mess, then use it shallow side down. Got a top tip from a customer as well: if you are eating outside and it's hot (Ha!) fill the deep bit with ice cubes and put the shallow bit on top with the butter on it. Lovely. Holds a standard pack of butter and measures 17cm long 10.5cm wide and 7cm deep.

But see here if you prefer a ceramic one....
