About

A French butter dish is a type of pottery crock designed to keep butter soft and fresh without refrigeration. It has a base with a hollow cylinder attached in the center, and a cup-like lid that fits over the top. The upper cup holds the butter, while cylinder in the base holds water. The water creates an airtight seal that keeps oxygen away from the butter, thus preserving it.
