Abies White Ceramic Covered Butter Dish on Dark Wood Base

A covered butter dish with a white ceramic dome and a wood base, to keep butter neat on the table or counter.

Abies is a covered butter dish with a white ceramic dome and a dark wood base. The lid has a small wooden handle that looks like bamboo, set on a metal ball, so it lifts easily and reads as a thoughtful detail on a breakfast table.

At 8.75 inches wide, 5.25 inches deep and about 4.3 inches high, it holds a standard stick of butter with room to spare. The white dome and warm wood suit transitional and modern kitchens, a bed-and-breakfast buffet or a brunch table.

Planning notes

Place it on a flat surface where the wood base will not sit in standing water. The dome sits over the tray, so lift by the handle and rest the lid next to the base while you serve.

Pair it with white plates and wood boards for a matched breakfast set. Because the wood is natural, grain and tone vary from piece to piece. For a brunch, set the dish near the toast and jam and add a small knife in front so guests know what it is for. In a bed and breakfast, one dish per table keeps service neat and cuts down on shared butter dishes.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms and covered hospitality spaces.
• Not for soaking or the dishwasher: wood can swell and crack if left wet.

Care

Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry right away. Hand wash only; do not soak or put in the dishwasher.
