Made of white earthenware clay my Butter Dishes, made for every day use, are individually slip cast and hand built designs. They are fired to just under 2000 degrees with multiple layers of hand brushed, semi opaque and vibrant colors. Designed to hold a full stick of butter they're also large enough for cheeses and other spreads. They are durable, functional and decorative. Hand washing is recommended. Dimensions: 4.25" H x 9" L
