One of our favorite products to gift, the Original Butter Bell will keep your butter soft enough to spread and fresh enough to enjoy, right on your countertop.  The butter bell works by placing softened butter in a cup-shaped container which is then inverted and placed into a larger base filled with cold water, creating an airtight seal that prevents air from reaching the butter, thus keeping it fresh and spreadable at room temperature.  This original crock pattern features honey bees in different "waggle" dances laid out intricately around the crock base and lid, in a navy blue decal. It's the bee knees!
