You may think this is strange, but I keep butter on my nightstand. I have struggled with insomnia for years, and having a little bit of butter nearby to help me fall back asleep when I wake up has been one of the best tricks Ive learned.I was looking for a nice way to store my butter without having random little containers that get greasy and stain my beautiful wood nightstand. These also protect the butter from the prying little noses and tongues of my ever-hungry, butter loving puppies. These also protect the butter from all the horrible flying monsters we have in the south who invade my home every time I open a door.They are beautiful, sturdy and the perfect size. I keep the butter under my night stand lamp (which can get very warm) and the butter has not melted. Just to be safe, I still keep the butter in a small stainless steel ramekin (a 1.6 ounce ramekin), which fits perfectly inside the interior lip.I will be ordering more of these for when I entertain guests. They are slightly larger than others I have had in the past, but small enough to not take up too much table space, while allowing enough room to keep a good size ball of butter.The design is lovely and works perfectly with my decor and other crystal I have. The top ball handle is large enough that even someone with arthritis can easily grip it without dropping the lid.I will be using the other one I purchased to make a mini terrarium. How cute is that?I definitely recommend.
