butter dish
Lidded spread container
A butter dish is a small covered container for holding a stick or block of butter at the table.
The lid keeps the butter fresh and protected from debris.
Some are designed for countertop storage, allowing butter to stay soft and spreadable: She left the butter dish out so it would be ready for breakfast.
