Butter is life and nothing better than having a beautiful butter dish - the medium size one holds a regular sized pack of butter beautifully. The large comfortably holds two regular sized packs of butter.
Scattered with bobbly-hearts across the base and lid, and featuring a large oversized heart as a handle.
As with all Marigold and Lettice pottery, it's very robust and can go in the dishwasher and microwave if you need to soften up any butter!!
Please note that while the butter dish and lid are made for each other these are handmade and the clay will pull up a bit more in some places that others meaning there will definitely be gaps (some larger than others) between the lid and the base. We say it adds to the charm and unique style of our pottery, but we don't want you to be disappointed if you're expecting a tight fit.
Medium - £60
Large - £75
For added safety, it's built with a clay insert around the inside of the lid meaning it can't slip off!

Getting your perfect piece to you is our priority but as each piece is made to order (we don't hold any pieces in stock), the process takes a MINIMUM OF FOUR WEEKS although this is just a guide and if it goes over please bear with us, if it goes under let's celebrate!

Our china looks and feels very (very) different to mass-produced pottery; it’s not fine or delicate, but wonderfully chunky and full of texture, you’ll see thumb prints, makers marks, glaze specks/drips and heaps of individuality. We call it perfectly imperfect pottery and firmly believe it’s all the better for it!
Please note that because each piece is unique the design will be different from the one in the picture – similar but unique.
Marigold and Lettice pottery is (hand)made to be loved and used, and happily goes in the oven, dishwasher and microwave.

please note that this is an approximate size as each is handmade so may be slightly different size wise!
WIDE LONG HEIGHT MEDIUM 10.5 cm 15 cm 6.5 cm tall (9 cm including handle) LARGE 13 cm 17 cm 9 cm tall (13 cm including handle) Marigold and Lettice pottery is made to be used, loved and enjoyed; it’s made using sturdy earthenware clay and a thick white glaze. This means it’s hard-wearing and every piece can safely go in the oven, dishwasher, microwave and even the freezer.
Each piece that is made by Marigold and Lettice is totally handmade and a one-off. So, if you see thumb prints in the clay or the glaze that may be thicker in some parts than others, it's because each piece is unique and is what gives our chunky china its specialness, and a different look and feel to mass-produced pottery.
When you first get your chunky china piece you may hear a ‘ping’ - especially the first time the pottery meets with water. If you do, please don’t worry, it's really quite normal and will stop as soon as the glaze/clay settles down together. You may also notice that the bottom of every piece is left unglazed, and this may leave a slight residue on your shelves, but can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth.
Like with all china, over time you may also notice signs of use in the glaze, but these are just signs of the china being well-loved. If this is the case, please be assured, the piece will still be perfectly fine to use.
