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. One available, exactly as pictured.
