This beautiful crystal butter dish is elegant and classy-looking. I like that it is squared off on the top, which follows the normal shape of a quarter of butter. It is large enough that the sides and edges of the butter will not touch the dish lid, which has always been an annoyance for me. My previous butter dish did not have a little handle/knob on top, and I always hated leaving fingerprint smudges all over the lid, but this butter dish has a lovely knob to hold onto to open the lid. I would definitely recommend this to everyone as a beautiful piece to show off on your counter or table.
