Terracotta Butter Bell - II

France, 19th Century

$155

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. These two feature a hand-carved pattern on top, which has worn away with time and is matte to the touch. Sylvie keeps one by the stove, ready for late night toast emergencies. Two available, sold individually. The wear patterns are slightly different. 

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