French Butter Keeper

An ingenious French-country way to keep your butter soft and spreadable without going rancid. Originating in the late 1800s, this method involves adding cold water to the base of the keeper so that, coupled with anywhere from 1/2 a stick to a 3/4 a stick of butter, it creates an airtight seal. Butter will last on the counter for over a week. Davis Pottery is handmade in York Harbor, Maine by Chris Davis.
