Butter Bell Original Crock by L. Tremain – Antique Collection Emerald

Discover the ingenious French solution to perfectly spreadable butter with the Original Butter Bell Crock by L. Tremain. This beautifully crafted ceramic butter keeper uses a centuries-old French method to maintain fresh, soft butter at room temperature without refrigeration, solving the frustrating hard butter problem once and for all.

The French Beurrier Tradition Perfected

Modelled after the authentic French “beurrier” dating back centuries, this modern interpretation has been refined and perfected by L. Tremain since 1995. The clever two-piece design features an inverted bell-shaped lid that holds butter and a base that creates an airtight water seal, preserving butter’s delicate flavour and creamy texture for weeks without spoilage or odours.

Stunning Antique Emerald Design

Part of the exclusive Antique Collection, this Butter Bell showcases a rich emerald green finish that adds sophisticated elegance to any kitchen or dining table. The lustrous reactive glaze creates unique variations in each piece, ensuring your butter crock is truly one-of-a-kind. The timeless design complements both traditional and contemporary décor.

Simple Yet Brilliant Operation

Using your Butter Bell couldn’t be easier. Simply pour one-third cup of cold water into the crock base, then pack softened butter firmly into the inverted lid. When you place the lid back into the base, the water creates an airtight seal that keeps butter fresh and spreadable for weeks. Change the water every few days to maintain optimal freshness.

Perfect Capacity for Daily Use

Each Butter Bell holds one standard stick or cube (half cup or 125 grams) of butter—ideal for daily family use. The generous capacity accommodates your favourite brand of butter, homemade butter, or even flavoured butter creations with herbs and spices. Try crafting honey butter, garlic herb butter, or cinnamon butter for special occasions.

Premium New Bone China Construction

Crafted from L. Tremain’s proprietary high-grade ceramic mixture called New Bone China, each crock is fired at 2200 degrees to create exceptional durability. The unique glazing process produces a beautiful, scratch-resistant finish that maintains its lustre through years of daily use. Contains no lead or cadmium for complete peace of mind.

Revolutionary Room Temperature Storage

Say goodbye to rock-hard refrigerated butter and the endless wait for it to soften. The Butter Bell’s water-seal technology safely stores butter at room temperature on your countertop or table, ensuring perfect spreading consistency whenever you need it. Enjoy soft, spreadable butter on morning toast, warm rolls, or fresh-baked scones without delay.
