This was brought up in the Corona thread but I thought I’d just move it here for those who didn’t spot it.

I was quite surprised that no-one else had ever come across this style of butter dish. It is actually well known as a French butter dish, but you can be nearly certain that the French nicked the idea from somewhere else and now claim it as their own, the cheese eating surrender monkeys!

The basic idea is just a hygienic way to store butter at room temperature and therefore make it very easy to spread. The lid is filled with butter and the base is filled with 5 to 10 mm of water. When not in use the lid goes into the base forming an airtight seal. Supposed to keep butter fresh for up to a fortnight or so, but I wouldn’t know as the one we have gets cleaned and refilled every few days as all my girls are butter nuts. Had this one for quite a few years now and I always keep badgering SWMBO to buy a bigger one but we never actually get around to it.

Other names for this item are: “French butter keeper”, “French butter crock”, “butter crock”, “beurrier à l’eau”, “beurrier Breton”, “beurrier Normand”, “cloche de beurre”, “pot à beurre Breton”, “französische Butterdose” (German). Two manufactured versions are the Norpro butter keeper and the Butter Bell, a registered trademark of L. Tremain, Inc.
History
The French butter dish design is thought to have originated in Vallauris, France. Vallauris is known for its pottery crafts. Others speculate that it was created in Brittany, or Normandy—both known for their butter production.

Needs a valve and canister from a whipped cream gun to blip a bubble of N in to displace the air between the water and butter.

Nup, never been an issue.

does it ever get hot in your cupboard so the butter plops down into the water?

one: I know the water probably wouldn’t do much harm to the butter unless it was dirty

two: I also know you live in Melbourne where it only gets hot for 30 minutes at a time

three: the water would also keep out ants.. which is handy…

I like old world solutions over modern convenience too, that’s why I drink unpasteurized milk and forgo vaccinations…

Four: I’m not a savage, we have air-conditioning

how much butter fits into the container?

and

if the butter was to stay in the pot for the full two weeks, would you recommend changing the water in between that time?

Does the butter get too hot (and therefore runny) in summer?

The one we have holds about 125g.

Yes to the water, but as I stated it only lasts about three days max in our place. It then gets a scrub, the top filled and the water replaced.

Looks like it is no trouble to toss the water out and replace each time it is used.

I turned a front verandah into a Coolgardie safe by hanging hessian blinds and installing a watering system that had drippers on the outside and misters on the inside. Dramatically increased comfort that cost about $40. I don’t know how much of the cooling was from evaporation from the cloth, though.
