Drapes, swags, tassels, cascades, curtains, call it what you want – we call it our drape and tassel design – and it is just fab surrounding our chunky china butter dishes.   Chunky yes but the drapes and tassels have a delicacy about them that gives it a charmingly vintage feel but with a very modern usability.
 
This medium sized one holds a regular sized pack of butter beautifully. 
 
**Please note that while the butter dish and lid are made for each other these are handmade and the clay will pull up a bit more in some places that others meaning there are gaps between the lid and the base. We say it adds to the charm and unique style of our pottery, but we don't want you to be disappointed if you're expecting a tight fit.**
 
For added safety, it's built with a clay insert around the inside of the lid meaning it can't slip off!
 
Already made and ready to ship.
 
Caring for your pottery:
Marigold and Lettice pottery is made from white earthenware clay and designed to be used and enjoyed every day. We personally use our pieces in the oven, dishwasher, and microwave. However, to prolong the life of your pottery, handwashing is the gentler choice, as dishwashers can be tough on handmade items due to high-pressure jets and strong detergents and may overtime cause damage and speed up any grazing in the glaze. 
While we do microwave our own pieces, for longevity we suggest heating food in the oven where possible.

Our china looks and feels very (very) different to mass-produced pottery; it’s not fine or delicate, but wonderfully chunky and full of texture, you’ll see thumb prints, makers marks, glaze specks/drips and heaps of individuality. We call it perfectly imperfect pottery and firmly believe it’s all the better for it!
