Famous for high-quality ceramics, L. Tremain made these beautifully designed crocks to preserve the freshness of butter and enhance the dining table. Each antique Butter Bell crock holds one stick of butter, which is equivalent to one-half cup. The container locks in the flavor and preserves the butter, which maintains a smooth texture for easy spreading on toast, muffins and other baked goods. A two-piece design features the cup and saucer portion for serving butter at the table, and the attractive cover protects the spread for safe storage. The cylindrical design stands on its own as a tabletop centerpiece or fits neatly on the counter as a subtle accent. These decorative crocks have gained the endorsement of top chefs nationwide and leading dairy manufacturers, while becoming the leading brand of butter crocks in the United States.
