The marble of the butter crock is gorgeous. I don’t have any blue but bought because it was so pretty. I do not know anything about here butter bells but the design seems better than a traditional butter dish.

This beautiful crock was sadly created with poor craftsmanship. The wooden handle is merely glued to the ceramic lid. When lifting the butter-filled container, the little handle quickly snapped off under the weight. It’s also strange that this is marked as dishwasher safe on the packaging considering it’s glued together.

This is the sweetest butter holder jar! Looks great and I love storing my butter in it. The butter remains the perfect texture and temperature. The color is a vibrant blue so it looks great sitting out anywhere in your kitchen.

Beautifully finished with reactive glaze, this butter crock adds a splash of color to the kitchen and features a wood handle and gold rim accent. A butter crock, or butter bell, allows you to keep butter soft and easily accessible on the counter - without it going bad. Butter is placed in the "bell" and water is placed in the base. The water touches the butter, preventing exposure to air, keeping it fresh. Water should be changed every day/every other day, depending on your climate.

I am so pleased with the butter crock! The base has a non-skid surface that will prevent the crock from moving from where you placed it. The blue color is striking and compliments most other items in my kitchen.
