Now Designs Stoneware Square Butter Dish with Lid, White 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!

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".

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.

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.

Love the color and shape

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.

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.

Super cute - good quality

good quality ideal for single person very stylish and love colour

Very cute, retro design and look to this butter dish; I like that one can store 1/4 of a block of butter, and it doesn't take up much space. It's pretty enough for company and goes with many dishes. The colour is very much like a lemon, in my opinion, certainly not as dark as mustard. The size is incorrectly described on this site, however. I reported that some time ago, and it has still not been changed. It is 4 1/2 inches square and 3 1/2 inches tall. The knob is large enough to grasp easily.I wanted red but was unwilling to pay more than double the price just for that colour. Yellow is beautiful, and I'm very pleased with it. The 1/4 block of butter does fit, just barely. Some reviewers think it's too tight a fit, but cut from the edge for the first serving, and there's no further problem. I love the look and find the size just right. It can go in the dishwasher, too.

Great size for one person

So many butter dishes that are designed to store sticks of butter aren’t useful for those of us in Canada who buy butter in bricks and cut off slices to use. This works very well for a 1 inch slice of butter.
