Product Insights

The Simons Maison Matte Ceramic Butter Dish is an affordable, aesthetically refined ceramic dish that keeps standard 1/4 lb butter sticks fresh on the counter for 5–7 days without water-seal maintenance, but hand-washing is required to avoid finish damage, and its size limitation (not for 1 lb blocks) has led to rejected returns for fit issues, with occasional fulfillment errors such as receiving a sugar bowl.

Uses

Keeping butter sticks fresh on the counter

A covered ceramic dish for storing standard 1/4 lb butter sticks, sized to hold them snugly, with the merchant describing it as keeping butter fresh and creamy. Reviewers say the small capacity works well for singles or low-consumption households. Note: a full 1 lb block will not fit unless it is trimmed, so it is best suited to stick buyers.[1]

Fitting butter in a packed fridge

Customers report that this matte ceramic butter dish slides into tight fridge doors or butter compartments thanks to its compact depth. Its small footprint also fits neatly on tight counter spaces, which some note is handy in small kitchens.[1]

Keeping butter on the counter in style

This matte ceramic butter dish is one shoppers may want to leave out on the counter: its minimalist design and sleek form are described as looking upscale and blending with modern decor, per customer feedback. The merchant also says the dish keeps butter fresh and creamy while adding a simple, elegant touch to the kitchen.[1]

Caring for your butter dish

When it's time to clean up after serving, keep in mind that Simons lists this butter dish as hand-wash only. Some customer feedback described the tray and lid as dishwasher-safe, but the merchant's care instruction excludes machine washing.[1]

Matte Ceramic Butter Dish: Choose this if you buy standard 1/4 lb butter sticks and want a matte black ceramic dish with a sleek, minimalist look that customers say blends with modern decor and fits snugly in fridge doors or tight counter spaces. Its interior is sized precisely for sticks, so a full 1 lb block won't fit unless trimmed — a limitation some buyers said the description didn't make clear, and one reviewer reported Simons refused a return on size grounds. The merchant lists it as hand-wash only, though some customers report the tray and lid as dishwasher-safe.[1,2,3]Small Scalloped Butter Dish: Choose this if you want a small, vintage-style clear glass dish (4 inches long by 2.5 inches wide) with a scalloped beaded rim and domed knob lid for keeping a small amount of butter soft on the counter, or for setting one at each guest's place — reviewers say its delicate old-fashioned design earns compliments. Note that it holds only about 2 to 3 tablespoons and cannot fit a standard stick of butter, so heavy butter users and family breakfasts may find it needs constant refilling, and the thin glass should be handled with care. It is dishwasher safe, and some buyers use it decoratively or for non-butter items like jewelry.[4,5,6]Grooved Modern Butter Dish: Choose this if you want a solid ceramic butter dish that reviewers say fits a standard 1-pound block without squishing and looks great on the counter, available in White, Taupe, or Green and safe for the dishwasher and microwave. It comes as a two-piece set with a domed, matching lid, and the merchant states it keeps butter fresh and creamy; note the hand-applied reactive glaze means each piece may vary slightly from the photo. The ceramic heft feels premium and durable to some, but it is noticeably heavier than many butter dishes, so it may feel cumbersome if you prefer lightweight kitchenware, and at least one buyer reported a unit arriving broken.[7]

★★★★★Hélène F.

Beau mais trop étroit Je ne l’ai pas gardé

Smaller than expected

★★★★★Swena A.

This dish is only made for butter sticks, not a regular 1lb block of butter. I really wish that had been mentioned in the description because I wouldn’t have bought it. To top it off, Simon’s won’t take a return on it, so now I’m stuck with something I can’t use. What a waste of money.

Du bon beurre. . .

Produit qui vient de chine

Le beurrier est joli, bien que ça forme étroite ne permette pas vraiment d'y mettre la plupart des morceaux de beurre que l'on trouve à l'épicerie. Déçue e voir que le produit vient de Chine.
