Kitchen storage, but make it fashion.
Butter dishes may not be the sexiest of kitchen utensils, but they improve our ability to function in the morning and the right one can raise our spirits.
The key role of the dish is to keep butter soft, allowing us to indulge in our toast without any broken bread or irritation of any kind. Like a good cup of coffee, it sets us up for the day. So, when choosing where to house your butter, we think it is only appropriate to give it a stylish home.
Butter dishes are no longer the plain Janes of the kitchen accessory world. They are now chic and fashion-forward. From checkerboard designs to bistro-style tile motifs, butter has never looked so good. So, to help you on your search for the perfect abode for your butter, here are 10 of the best dishes you can buy now.
