Antique

Sylvie Favorite

Kitchen Must Have

The way our jaw dropped when we found these. Terracotta butter bells, once the French kitchen’s best-kept secret for keeping butter cool before fridges were a thing. This one features a hand-carved pattern on top and is matte to the touch. Sylvie keeps one by the stove, ready for late night toast emergencies. Exactly as pictured. Two colors available.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
