The “Beautiful” Butter Dish That’s Bringing Me So Much Joy Right Now (It Looks Vintage!)

If you’re someone who leads a neat and clean lifestyle, chances are you feel this way about your groceries, too. Hop on social media, and you’ll see a plethora of influencers showing you all the ways you can switch out your not-so-sleek grocery packaging for tidy food storage solutions. I’ll admit that it makes groceries appear much less chaotic in your cabinets and refrigerator, but it’s certainly a time constraint to do this with every single thing you buy.

One item worth switching out your grocery packaging for is butter. Not only is the wax paper for butter sticks incredibly finicky to deal with, but it also doesn’t store well, either. Enter: a butter dish. This tool not only looks pretty displayed on your counter (if you get the right one!), but it also allows you to store your butter outside of the fridge to keep it nice and soft. One butter dish we love from Anthropologie is the Abi Butter Dish, which features a traditional vintage pattern that looks gorgeous on your counter. 

The Abi Butter Dish is a glazed piece of stoneware made to store your butter at room temperature. Its design is inspired by Dutch Delftware and French toile fabrics, which are known for their blue and white design, hand-painted patterns, and country-inspired look. It makes a statement on your countertops while serving a purpose: to keep your butter soft and spreadable. 

With this in your kitchen, you don’t have to worry about waiting for your butter to “soften” from the refrigerator. Not only that, but its beautiful design is also great for special occasions when you need your butter handy for bread, pastries, or other items many people will be using. The best part? It’s dishwasher-safe (and microwaveable if needed!), so your cleanup is easy.

“I got this entire set for my mom with the pie dish and other items, and they really are super beautiful! I guess with ceramics, there is always a chance something won’t be perfect, but we don’t have any complaints on this or the set.” —CandyC3
