I have been wanting a butter crock for years and when I saw this I had to have it. It came packed very carefully in a small box and came with an attractive insert that literally shows the integrity of this company. I got the white one and it has a beautiful wood handle. This is a fairly heavy stone type glazed butter dish with them elegant yet very usable look and feel to it. It works great for keeping your butter free of dust and pests, while of course allowing it to be soft at room temperature.￼￼￼￼￼￼ I highly recommend this butter crock and look forward to getting other things from this company.￼￼
