Retro French Butter Keeper (small)

Hand painted underglazes and gold lustre on porcelain clay. Gold lustre trim*. 10 cm wide, 11 cm tall (with lid), 200 ml butter capacity. Instructions: pack the lid with butter and put enough water in the jar (about 2 cm) to create an oxygen barrier that will keep the butter fresh and soft for 2-3 weeks. Change water every few days. 

*Note: all ceramics with gold lustre are food safe, but not microwave safe. Yes, the gold is real gold, but it is very thin. These pieces will keep their gold finish for a very long time if they are washed gently by hand. Dishwasher detergents are known to be somewhat abrasive and will eventually wear away the gold lustre with multiple washings in the dishwasher.
