The Original Butter Bell crock, Classic Retro Matte Finish, Ebony

Okay, so the Butter Bell Original Crock is basically a tiny ceramic throne for your butter, and yes, I respect it. You scoop your butter into the little lid, fill the base with water, and suddenly your butter lives a life of luxury, never touching the cruel, cold air again. It’s like a spa day for dairy. I’m not kidding—I whisper sweet nothings to it now. The first time I used it, I was struck by the sheer audacity of this device. “You shall remain soft, yet unspoiled,” it seemed to say, “and also, I am the most important object in your kitchen.” And it’s true. Nothing else in my kitchen has this much self-respect. My blender? Sad. My microwave? Shaky. This butter? Regal. It keeps butter spreadable forever, which is honestly suspicious. I touch it and think, “This is unnatural. Did it make a deal with the butter gods?” I’ve considered introducing it to my other condiments just to show them how it’s done. Mustard, mayo, even the pickles—they’re all low-key jealous. Also, fun fact: it makes butter taste better. I don’t know why. Is it the water moat? The elevated lifestyle? The subtle encouragement of whispering affirmations to it daily? I don’t care. I am now fully committed to this crock. Final verdict: 12/10. Will buy a second one to establish a butter monarchy. Highly recommend if you want your butter to live like a pampered aristocrat while you live like a confused peasant.

This is very practical and durable,easy to use and easy to clean

I love love this butter bell. I have left butter out on the counter my whole life. It was always unsightly and messy looking. This item stows the butter neatly and keeps it safely enclosed. I lit keeps the butter at a PERFECT consistency for spreading. the sturdy handle doubles as a nice base when open. I would recommend this item a million times over. A great value!

If you are going to purchase one of these, this is the one to buy. Heavy, thick walled, well cast, gloss finish. Works as designed and keeps the butter spreadable. One stick of butter fills it right to the top, no extra room for more. No mark on the water bowl for filling with the right amount of water, so a 1/3 cup measuring cup is needed to correctly fill the water volume, and not guess. I took off a star for this deficiency. Yes it costs double of another I purchased but it was worth it to me. Highly recommend.

First order arrived in broken pieces. Easy to return and replacement arrived in a few days. I have been using the butter bell for 2 months now and absolutely love it. I use a small rubber spatula to clean out the edges and bottom when the butter bell is almost empty. No wasting butter. Easy to clean Highly recommend this product

I love real butter, I have blocks of it in the freezer, I have sticks of it in the refrigerator, now thanks to my new butter crock by L. Tremain, Inc. I always have fresh smooth spreadable real butter on my counter ready for that bite of instant gratification on my favorites. This stylish air tight butter crock is just what I was looking for, no more unsightly clear glass covered butter dishes and definitely no oil based margarine, there are very few options when it comes to spreadable butter available even if you purchase those whipped butters in the cardboard containers with the plastic top this work well and exceeded my expectations...

The matte black ceramic matches my Pfaltzgraff Midnight Sun pattern really well, which is how I came to the product. So far the bell works great; if you appropriately push the room temp butter into the bell and fill it up with 1/3 cup water as directed, the butter stays fresh, soft, and there isn't really excess water on the butter itself, just the rim of the bell. The handle is easy to grab and the bell can stand upside-down on a table when opened. So this is better than hard fridge butter, melty or dusty exposed butter, or a large oblong butter dish lid that doesn't have a handle and requires you to have Shaq hands to palm it. My one note is that I agree with the person who said that a marker/line inside showing you how far to fill the water would be helpful so that you don't have to guess or use a measuring cup. I also have not used this in the summertime yet, when the butter might be more prone to slipping. If it works then, that will be the full test.

good product

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

This little butter bell is awesome! Beautifully made, we keep it on our counter and it looks sharp. It keeps the butter soft whereas other ceramic butter dishes do t work and butter is still so hard. Highly recommend! Worth every dollar if you want soft butter!

Excellent product. Keeps the butter fresh and is very easy to use.

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.
