Emile Henry (France) ceramic butter bell allows you to leave your butter out at room temperature, making buttering your toast so much easier in the morning! Butter is placed in the top, cold water in the base. With the two in contact, air is locked out, preventing spoilage. It is simple to use and a true blessing, especially in the hot summer months. Small and tidy on any kitchen counter. Fast shipping and careful packaging. (N1)
