Butter Bell - The Original Butter Bell Crock by L Tremain, a Countertop French Ceramic Butter Dish Keeper for Spreadable Butter, Parisian Bistro Style with Blue Trim

Absolutely fantastic, enables butter to be kept out of the fridge and spreadable!! Brilliant! Great design and finish. Must remember to change the water regularly but love it. Highly recommended

Oh wow! Love this SOOO much I just had to get another! It works! simple but it works, butter is soft, fresh (you must change the water regularly) and you really get the taste of the butter and it’s spreadable. Perfection!

I purchased this as a gift for my daughter who requested one for her birthday. I had never heard of them before but what a great idea. Been around for decades! It keeps butter fresh out of the fridge. I want one for myself now.

This item, apparently quite an "Old Fashioned" idea, works perfectly. Users should ensure the water temperature is kept low, particularly during warm weather and butter is always "Spreadable". The capacity is insufficient for an entire conventionally sized pack of butter but more than enough for several "Uses". If, like me, you're a person who prefers butter to margarine, this item is NOT a Godsend because I'm an Atheist - but it IS the Bees-Knees! Buy with confidence.

I love these butter crocks, they work perfectly, keeping the butter soft whilst fresh in the cupboard. I bought this one to replace my Le Creuset butter crock that got broken and now is no longer sold in the UK, unless you pay ridiculous shipping fees. My only issue with this one is that the lid does not sit properly, it slides off to one side, not far enough to be a problem, just annoying. I will probably be on the look out for another Le Creuset.

Talking with a friend about organic products, we thought of butter and the drawback of having to keep organic butter (or any butter for that matter) in the fridge and it being hard as nails when you want a smitch for your toast. I asked my mum how things were done in the days before fridges were commonplace and she said butter used to be kept in water so it remained fresh. It didn't take me long to come across the butter bell which is such a simple idea but now, every time I reach for the butter I am so thankful I have this little pot to hand. It's perfect, although a little small for a family perhaps, as it only takes about have a pack of butter at a time but I am sure almost anyone would love this fabulous addition to your kitchen worktop. I'm buying a few as Christmas gifts. I would recommend this to anyone; it's brilliant!

I bought one of these some years ago when in the states and unfortunately broke it last year. I have been looking for a replacement for some time when I came across this on amazon. It's perfect - it actually fits more butter in the lid than my previous one. Simple idea and, as I much prefer butter to spreadable margarine, I love that it keeps it fresh and easy to spread . Looks good too.

I felt this item is overpriced for what it is, but nevertheless an excellent interpretation of the traditional French cloche de buerre designed to keep butter fresh at room temperature. I note that other reviewers found problems with the butter 'falling out' as the bell is inverted, but I have never had any difficulties - just make sure the butter is very soft when you spoon it in and be careful not to trap any air between the butter and the 'bell'. I often harden it in the fridge for an initial set before using it, but I'm sure it's not necessary. The is a good video on youtube demonstrating how to do it.

This looks lovely. Be aware that it holds just 1/4 pound of butter but takes up as much space on your table as brands that hold twice as much.

ha ha a little humor. all jokes aside, this is a great little butter crock. At first I didn't understand how it could keep butter fresh until I see the butter stands in the water. Works great. butter stays soft and ready to use. great purchase and would recommend to anyone who uses butter frequently.

I have several ceramic butter crocks, but this one is probably my favorite. It is easy to refill, and it functions perfectly so far. Perhaps the best feature is the comparatively hefty weight of the upper part of the unit, which is solid and heavy and signifies quality. This was an excellent purchase that does exactly what it is supposed to do and looks great while doing it. Thanks.

なんか、常温でバターをって思うとすっきりしなかったんですけど、意外に問題なく使えてます。ちょっと不便なのは中が見えないんでバターが減ってきたときにちゃんと水がええ感じになっているかどうかわかりにくいのと、どうしても空気がベル部分に残ってしまうことです。多めに水を入れて傾けて水を捨てるようにしていますが、酸化は防げない面もあるのではないかと・・・。 でもまぁバターが柔らかくて使いやすいし、便利ですよ。

Great item. While I feared rancid butter if left out of the refigerator, I also found trying to spread cold, refrigerated butter less than satisfactory. Now, the butter bell ensures that butter stays fresh and delightfully spreadable. It also compliments my kitchen decor, is small enough to sit on the countertop or easily fits into a cupboard if I want to stash it away. I am so pleased with it, I purchased two more for Christmas gift add-ons!
