Wilton Armetale Flutes and Pearls Butter Dish with Lid, Oval, 5-1/2-Inch by 8-Inch
Since 1892, Wilton Armetale has constructed unique serving pieces in silver and pewter, gracefully combining beauty and durability. Individually handcrafted in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, no two pieces are exactly alike. Non-toxic metal ensures the safety of all food items, and effectively keeps a side dish or main course at the desired temperature. Wilton Armetale guarantees that under normal circumstances, serveware pieces will not rust, tarnish, crack, chip, or dent.Modeled on a candlestick base designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1821, the Wilton Armetale flutes and pearls design is reminiscent of an earlier era. Graceful flutes give depth to the highly polished butter dish lid, while sculpted beads resembling pearls trim the outer edge of the butter dish tray. Together, they measure 8-1/4 inches long, 5-1/2 inches wide, and 3-3/4 inches tall. For best results, Wilton Armetale recommends washing all serving pieces by hand, and instructs users not to place them in the microwave or dishwasher.--Lea Werbel
