Handmade Teal Turquoise Floral Butter Dish - Irish UK Block Design - Perfect for Serving!

This butter dish is gorgeous and sized perfectly for a block of Irish/UK style butter (pictured), or a block of cream cheese. The butter dish is glazed in beautiful layered blue/green/bronze glaze over dark clay with hand painted magnolias on each side and on the tray. Please note where it is unglazed (the rim of the top and the area where it touches). These areas are unglazed because the items were fired together and glaze would cause them to fuse.

This listing is a discounted seconds for two reasons:
1. The lid warped a little when drying - see pic of the underside. Still looks beautiful and holds the butter comfortably.
2. There is a small place on the tray where the glaze was sanded smooth. It's the tiniest little circle by the flower. See pics.

Let me know if you have any questions.

All of my glazes are lead-free and food safe.

FAQs:

• I am a small batch potter. All of my items are handmade one at a time. Each one will vary slightly.
• The bottom, and any part of the item that needs to touch the kiln shelf when firing, will be unglazed. Glaze can act as a strong adhesive. If glaze is touching anything when it melts, it will stick to that thing forever.
o If an item has more than one piece, they were most likely fired together, for this reason, the areas on the item that are touching will not be glazed (i.e., lid and rim).
• Slight glaze variations are normal. The glaze I use fires between 2200* and 2500*F, depending on the item. Glaze will melt and move when firing. You will see this movement in the piece after the fact.
• I love a handmade look. I do not strive for absolute perfection or a commercially made look. All of my photos are high resolution – please feel free to zoom in on each piece. Go crazy.
• Do not hesitate to message me with any questions about an item. I will respond quickly. Online shopping for handmade items can be tricky – I welcome and love all questions (I also love to hear from pottery lovers and potters).
