Now Designs Stoneware Square Butter Dish with Lid, Red 4.5 x 4.5 in

This is a great, well-made ceramic butter dish! It neatly holds 2 halves of a regular sized butter stick. It does not take up a lot of space and looks great in my kitchen matching my white cabinets. If you want a nice, compact butter dish, don’t pass this one up!

Love the color and shape

This is absolutely perfect for a 1/2-stick butter dish. We are currently living in an RV with limited counter space and this fits perfectly. We were using a plate with stretch-wrap. Not a good look and the plate took up a lot of room. Could not be happier with this purchase except for the fact that choosing the color was difficult. Ended up with the light blue/green and it blends in nicely.

This is smaller than I thought but it works fine and looks SO pretty on my kitchen counter. I use a lot of Irish butter and they are oblong.....like two sticks of regular butter together. They don't fit but I just cut one in half, put it in this cute butter dish and all works fine. I can keep some out on the counter to stay soft for toast and such and keep the rest in the fridge until I'm ready to put it in there. I got the red and have already had compliments on "that cute butter dish".

Does not fit wide butter sticks. For regular sized sticks (the kind that come 4 to a box in popular U.S.A. brands), you will need to cut the butter in half and put two halves side-by-side. I wish it had been a little bigger, won't buy a square butter dish again.

Measurements were misleading. It’s smaller than I expected so I have to cut my butter down to make it small enough to fit.

If you buy the shorter, fatter "western" stick of butter, this dish will NOT fit an entire stick without multiple cuts. Perhaps I could be convinced to cut a stick in half, but who wants to puzzle a stick of butter into the dish each time? Don't be misled! The dimensions provided are for the outer edges of the base, not for the usable area. The area that fits under the lid, which holds the butter is only ~2.5" x 2.5". Providing the dimensions of the lid would probably have eliminated the confusion (OUTER edges of lid are 3.5" x 3.5").I love the color (eggshell) and the quality seems great; however, it is too small to be useful. I really was excited to receive this, and was disappointed in myself for misreading the dimensions (I even measured my butter before purchasing!). Perhaps it would work for a single person who needs only use a half stick of butter at a time. It really is adorable and a space-saver. However, I don't see this working for my family of five.

I really like this little butter dish, very cute and functional. For all those who are disappointed with it's small size, try this (see photos). Press the stick of softened butter into the LID of the dish. To serve, hold the lid in your hand, remove desired amount of butter with butter knife and place the lid back onto the dish. Butter stays put in the lid (unless your kitchen is very warm) or keep in refrigerator. Works great.

Looks like good quality and it's a nice size. Not too big. Not too small

good quality ideal for single person very stylish and love colour

I love the look of this butter dish. It dresses up my table, giving a pretty splash of color when eating our breakfast or lunch.The dish holds about 3/4c of butter, cut from the end of a pound of butter. That amount means it will be used before it goes bad. I purchased two dishes, one in use while the other is being cleaned.I've washed mine both ways, by hand or by dishwasher. I worried it wouldn't be safe in the dishwasher but it's fine.The only way this could have been improved would be if there was a little dish inside with a short edge to it that would keep butter from smearing out beyond the edge of the lid. It's fine as it is though but might require a wipe along the sides with a paper towel

Great size for one person

Our old butter dish was rectangular like most are, but we never used the full length of it. In Canada we don't have conventional U.S. sticks of butter, but rather larger 2 cup blocks. This dish is square, so we can easily cut off a 1" square slice segment of butter which lies perfectly in the dish with room to spare so it doesn't touch the sides of the lid making it messy, it also fits better on our counter where space is always tight. The color is bright and cheerful and the lid has the little knob to easily lift it up which is also a very nice touch. Would easily buy another one in the future as a gift!
