butter crock
Spreadable fat vessel
A butter crock is a container designed to keep butter fresh and spreadable at room temperature.
The traditional design uses a bell-shaped lid that holds butter inverted over water, creating an airtight seal that prevents spoilage without refrigeration.
Also called a butter bell or French butter keeper: I keep a butter crock on the counter so the butter is always soft.
