Fancy Marble Butter Dish - Butter Crock

This is a very beautiful and hefty chunk of marble. You can put the butter in the base or the bell or both. And you can use water in the base if you prefer without having it come into contact with your butter to form an airtight seal…which is what I didn’t like about other butter bells. Very pretty on my counter and cute little matching knife as well.

Perfect and lovely. Works great, better than a bell you have to hold in one hand. This one you can hold toast in one hand.

I'm an Amazon Vine Reviewer - This dish is beautiful and functional. What a beautiful way to hold the butters and serve from the dish. Highly recommend.

This is a stunning marble butter dish. I expected it to be incredibly heavy, but it is actually quite manageable (definitely not light-weight, though). It is quite large, so it will definitely be the center of attention at the table. I have a lovely ceramic butter bell that has a reservoir to hold cool water so the butter can be left out on the counter or table and it stays fresh, but this is not the same thing. My butter bell works out great for weekend breakfasts and brunches, but it is so hot where I live that it isn't really practical to leave it out all of the time so I keep it in the fridge until an hour or so before using it. However, it only holds about 3/4 of a stick of butter, which is fine for a family meal, but I needed something larger for when we have guests. This butter dish can easily two sticks (I soften the butter first) and as another reviewer mentioned, this is perfect for butter blends. Covered, it takes up a bit too much room to store in my crowded fridge, though. I have no problem transferring a ball of butter that I pre-formed or a batch of whipped honey butter from the fridge to the dish when I'm ready to serve. The butter dish looks really nice in the pictures, but it is even better in person. The marble is smooth with subtle grey swirls under the surface; the exterior of the dish and cover is polished to a high gloss whereas the interior has been smoothed but not polished so has dull appearance. It comes with a charming little marble-handled butter knife, too. I really like this butter dish and I'm happy to have found it. I think it would make a great gift and it arrived nicely boxed and carefully packaged in a styrofoam block and in perfect condition.

This piece is so AMAZING it left me speechless. Honest. It exceeded all expectations I though that this piece was. I thought it was going to be this nice marbleized piece that can stay on the table for everyday use, which yes it still can be according to how you want to use it. I am telling you this b/c if you were to take my advice and order this, you will understand why you would only bring this out on very special occasions and Holidays. When it arrived it was packaged really tightly. And for good reason. I still wouldn't jostle it any. I put it away in storage for that Holiday/special occasions. It is very sturdy, durable, but yet fragile. I believe if dropped depending on the surface it would fall on would depend on how fragile it really is. So I want to say that this piece belongs in a China closet or somewhere it can be seen, but not used until your ready. It is made of real marble (both white and grey). And it is real marble. It comes with a certificate of authenticity. It looks exactly like the photos in the description, this time the photos do justice for this item. ;One of the reasons why I didn't post any, b/c I did not take it out of the box, and just evaluated it from opening it from the top only the pics in the description are more helpful. But what I can tell you is that this piece is more than worth the value. This is a piece you would actually save up to buy, but thanks to Amazon you can own this marvelous piece at a reasonable cost. If I could give this 100 STARS I would. For all reasons. It is highly worth buying and I most def recommend. Thank you...
