I don't know, either. Googling now....[/quote]
Original butter bell PP here! :D

I first read about them on Food52, but it was DH who finally bit the bullet and bought one last year. It's been a life-changer, I'm not kidding. It keeps butter soft and fresh, which is perfect for spreading. I still keep butter for baking and cooking in the fridge.

But DS has never used a butter dish![/quote]

Wait I'd never even heard of those - just looked them up on Google. Is the part with the butter the top part or the bottom part? Isn't it a pain to store that thing in your fridge?[/quote]
In ours, the butter goes in the top, and water goes in the bottom. The water makes a vacuum that keeps oxygen out, and thus keeps the butter fresh. It stays on the counter (in the dining room, away from the kitchen's heat)--putting it in the fridge would defeat the purpose, since it would make the bitter cold and hard again.

This is the one we have: http://m.surlatable.com/product/PRO-1876382/L.+Tremain+Antique+Butter+Bells?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided[/quote]
