Wheat Stalk Ceramic Butter Crock

Keep butter fresh and spreadable the traditional French way with this fabulous, handcrafted crock. Made from natural clay and finished with a rich, dark teal glaze, this two-piece set is both functional and beautiful. The lid features a striking half-glazed design with two hand-carved wheat stalks, while the inner butter bell and the top of the base are fully glazed for easy cleaning. Four delicately carved wheat stalks adorn the unglazed base, bringing a warm, earthy texture to your table or countertop. This crock keeps your butter soft, flavorful and always ready to serve.

  • Seal Crock: Invert the lid and submerge it into the base, creating an airtight seal that keeps the butter fresh.
