Product Information

Full details

This striking red butter dish, designed by Wouters & Hendrix for Serax, is for those who appreciate surrealist art and want to bring a unique, expressive touch to their tabletop. Its key benefit is transforming an everyday object into a conversation-starting piece of 'table jewelry.' A potential caveat is that its bold design may not suit minimalist aesthetics. Key features include its handcrafted stoneware construction, a surrealist lip motif, a functional lid, and dishwasher-safe properties.

Can I put this butter dish in the oven?

No, the butter dish is not oven safe. It is safe for microwave use for short periods and for use in the dishwasher.

How should I clean the butter dish?

It is dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use mild soap and a soft sponge, then rinse and dry.

The design is inspired by surrealism and the recurring mouth/lip motif used by the designers Wouters & Hendrix in their jewelry and previous collections.

Can I use this for something other than butter?

Troubleshooting

Butter dish appears to be stained.

For minor stains, try making a paste of baking soda and water, gently apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse. For persistent stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stoneware or ceramics.

Lid does not fit snugly.

Ensure the lip of the dish and the underside of the lid are clean and free of debris. Minor imperfections are possible due to the handmade nature; gently adjust the lid's position.

Chipping or cracking observed.

While stoneware is durable, it can chip if dropped. Avoid hard impacts. If minor chips occur, inspect carefully before use, especially if it compromises the surface. For significant cracks, discontinue use.

  • Unique and artistic design that serves as a conversation starter.
  • Handcrafted quality adds a touch of artisanal charm.
  • Functional lid ensures butter stays fresh.
  • Durable stoneware construction.
  • Dishwasher and microwave safe for convenience.

Cons

  • The bold design might not complement all table settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply remove the butter dish from its packaging and place it on your desired surface. Ensure the lid is properly seated to maintain freshness.

Compatibility: This butter dish is designed for use on tabletops, in refrigerators (with the lid on), and as a serving piece. It is compatible with most standard butter sizes. While it is microwave-safe for short warming periods, it is *not* oven-safe.

Care: To maintain its vibrant appearance and integrity:

  1. Cleaning: The butter dish is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. For best results, place it on the top rack of your dishwasher.
  2. Hand Washing: Alternatively, wash by hand with mild soap and warm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the enamel.
  3. Drying: Air dry or gently pat dry with a soft cloth.
  4. Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glazed surface.
