Le Butter Bell

France, 20th Century

$155

We can't stop thinking about these. Terracotta butter bells, once the French kitchen’s best-kept secret for keeping butter cool before fridges were a thing. Etched by hand and unglazed, Sylvie keeps one by the stove, ready for toast emergencies and late-night pan sizzles. We have two available, one with a faint white blush, the other raw terracotta.

  • Dimensions:

    6" H x 7" W x 7" D

  • Material:

    Terracotta

  • Notes from Sylvie:

    My dear, this unglazed ceramic may have chips, cracks and patina from years of loving use.
