Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Butter Dish, Flame

This butter dish is large enough to hold two regularly sized sticks of butter, side-by-side. The soft gray outside of the dish is quite pleasing and would blend with just about any kitchen decor. It is easy to remove the lid, and the loop handle at the top allows it to sit without getting butter on anything else when placed on its top. The smooth surface of the dish, inside and out makes it quite functional, and easy to clean with just a paper towel. I've not seen a comparable dish for the price, so you will surely agree that it is a great value. The lid seals well when closed, so we keep it on the countertop so the butter is soft and easily spreadable.

I love all things Le Creuset, and this is no exception. I love the lid design- the handle makes it easy to remove without dropping it, and it fits securely and tightly. I did a lot of searching, and many other brands I found had that problem consistently. It appears to accommodate European as well as American butter. Le Creuset products are made so well and with quality materials that are really built to last, which is why I come back again and again. As for the price point, this one was only about 10-15.00 more than the average one for sale on Amazon. Why spend 25.00 for a brand I've never heard of, made with who knows what, when for a little more I can buy one that's pure quality and elegant. Worth every penny.

I purchased this for myself daughter for a Christmas present. She had mentioned that she would like one. We both like Le Creuset cookware. She was pleased with her gift. The dish is larger than my Le Creuset butter dish as it’s a different model. It was affordable at $35 from Amazon & Le Creuset products are all durable. Example: I’m using a small saucepan with lid that my mom received as a wedding gift in 1957. The butter dish keeps your butter protected & soft for daily use at room temperature! We both enjoy purchasing Le Creuset products for each other for gifts! It’s quality merchandise. I collect Flame color & my daughter likes Cerise! I believe it came in a variety of colors!

Seems silly to write a review about a butter dish. But here it goes. If you know the brand, this is number one. Trusted. Well made. Styled. It sits on our counter 24/7. Love the color. Adds a bit of pop! Weighty enough to not move around when cutting butter off of it.

I got the red butter dish because it blends well my three lodge red cast iron 6 qt cooker. The style is nice. The smalls handle on top is nice touch my previous dish did not have. I also like the larger, slanted and ribbed side handles that give a more secure grip when moving it. Over-priced imho. But the color and features moved me to choose over price alone in this case. This is my first Le creuset item so time will tell on how it holds up to heavy kitchen use.

Fits perfectly in the butter compartment in the fridge. Yes, you have to tilt it a little sideways to put it into the compartment but the best part (and if you have kids, you will understand) is that the little protrusions on the side of the dish help to lock it into the butter compartment so that when your kids slam the refrigerator door or pull it open with great force, the butter dish doesn’t go flying out of the butter compartment and you break another butter dish. This little dish stays locked in the compartment. Just lift the dish a bit and tilt it to remove from the refrigerator compartment. Holds two standard sticks of butter or one cube of Irish butter easily.

well made. looks great.

This is a beautiful butter dish but much bigger than I expected. It holds 4 little half sticks of butter but I was looking for something smaller. The color is beautiful.
