Porcelain Butter Dish
Hakusan Porcelain
I don’t know what this modern Instagram-induced obsession for “Butter Crocks” or “Butter Bells” is about, but I feel like a generous surmising of the trend would be that it’s a thing for a European kitchens.
Why is the water involved? It keeps the butter fresh. Unless you’re churning your own, I really can’t see the need for that. If you’re butter is going bad on the bench, you’re not eating it fast enough.
Personally speaking, my butter lives on the bench in one of these Hakusan butter dishes, and as far as I can tell it is happy as Larry and completely water-free.
And we’re an all-seasons “butter-on-the-bench” household, even in 40+ degree temperatures.
Give me fridge-hard butter and I will give you slap.

Delightful to look at, delightful to use.
The 22cm Grill and Oil pans are fantastic if you have room for them in your kitchen collection, but our expert pick of the bunch is the 16cm Mini Pan.
Customers exclaim “how cute!” when they pick it up but often dismiss it as some kind of impractical novelty pan. Sure, it’s not your everyday family frying pan, but it’t not trying to be!
A couple of eggs are this pan’s best mate. Easy and quick to cook. Simple to handle. Less to wash.
What’s not to love!
These pans and pots are well designed and fit for purpose. You can cook better, serve better and wash better. They are pleasing on the eye and make our food look even better. Their simple design, durable material, and superb utility are why we love having them on our cooktop and dining table.
This pan was designed in 1999. The unique functionality of these pots and pan lies in the shape of a slightly curved edge which makes it easy to pour liquids. Nambu tekki iron pan is thick and strong. It absorbs and distributes the heat evenly. It works on gas and induction. This design won the prestigious Good Design Award in Japan in 2001.
It's a great pan for one who would love something small, quickly.
You can add ingredients directly into the pan and put it straight into the oven to cook! Great for Spanish omelette, shakshouka, and other easy dishes. Use it as a stylish serving dish - we often use for serving fries at home.
