Chilmark Pottery Ceramic Butter Crock

Chilmark Pottery is a rustic studio on Martha's Vineyard, MA known for handcrafted, wheel-thrown ceramics with coastal and copper-red glazes. Geoffrey Borr started working with clay in 1972 and moved to Martha's Vineyard in 1982. He first opened his business in the town of Chilmark & later moved the studio to a weathered barn in West Tisbury but kept the original name. Chilmark Pottery is shaped on the potter's wheel, glazed by hand, and kiln-fired to a strong, permanent finish. Functional & American-made, the stoneware pottery crock is lead-free, cadmium-free, food-safe, microwave safe and dishwasher safe.   Invented in France in the 1800's, the French Butter Crock is the ideal way to store and serve butter at room temperature.  How to use your French Butter Crock: Fill the lid of the crock with butter (holds at least 1/2 cup). Pour water into the bottom of the vessel at least 1/3 full. When the lid is placed inside the bottom, the butter is protected with an airtight seal of water. Butter keeps up to 30 days on the countertop at the perfect spreading consistency and does not have to be refrigerated.  Pet & smoke free home. Thanks for looking! H
