HIC Kitchen's Fine Porcelain Butter Dish with Lid is perfect for spreading on buttery flavor at every meal. It's perfect for serving all types of butters, salted or unsalted, sweet cream butter, margarine, plant-based, and more. It works perfectly for both east-coast Elgin-style and west-coast stubby-style sticks of butter. It's simple enough for everyday meals yet decorative to complement holiday meals, parties, even outdoor entertaining. A tradition since 1957, HIC's fine-quality porcelain serveware is durable, heat resistant, and free from lead and cadmium. It's safe for use in the freezer, microwave, oven, broiler (to 350-degrees Fahrenheit), and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
