butter dishes
Covered dairy containers
Butter dishes are lidded containers designed to hold a stick or block of butter at the table.
The lid keeps butter fresh and protected from absorbing other flavors.
Most are ceramic, glass, or porcelain, often matching a dinnerware set: She placed the butter dish next to the bread basket.
Some designs keep butter at room temperature for easy spreading.
