Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Butter Dish, Cerise

I had this on my wishlist for almost a year before finally treating myself, and I have zero regrets. This butter dish is both beautiful and functional, which is exactly what I was hoping for. The Cerise color is that gorgeous cherry red that Le Creuset is known for, and the nonporous, non-reactive glaze is resistant to chips, scratches, and stains, so it holds up beautifully with everyday use. The virtually nonstick surface makes cleanup quick and easy, and it resists cracking and crazing over time, which means it stays looking just as beautiful as the day you bought it. What really sets this apart is how versatile it is. It goes safely from the freezer to the oven to the microwave to the broiler to the dishwasher, and it can even handle metal utensils, so there's no babying required. It's perfectly sized for a standard stick of butter but wide enough to accommodate most European-style sticks as well. Whether you're softening butter for baking or serving it at the table, this dish transitions seamlessly and looks stunning doing it. If you've been on the fence about splurging on this one, consider this your sign to go for it.

Order it. Yes, the price is higher than most butter dishes, but the quality more than justifies the cost. The stoneware is exceptionally well made, with the substantial weight and flawless finish that Le Creuset is known for. The beautiful Cerise color adds a rich pop of color to the countertop, and it looks just as lovely on the table. This is one of those kitchen pieces you'll enjoy every single day. It's functional, timeless, and built to last for years. You truly get what you pay for, and in this case, it's outstanding quality. You will love it!

Honestly, I never thought I’d be this hyped about a butter dish, but here we are. I’m really liking this one. Why it’s a win: • It’s Gorgeous: The grey (Oyster) color looks super sleek. It’s one of those items that actually makes my kitchen look more "put together." • Built Like a Tank: It has that heavy, high-quality feel you expect from Le Creuset. It doesn't feel fragile or cheap at all. • Actually Works: It keeps the butter at that perfect "easy to spread" texture without it getting gross or oily. Plus, the handle on top is easy to grab. • Easy Cleanup: I just throw it in the dishwasher and it comes out looking brand new. One heads up: It's sized perfectly for a standard stick of butter. If you buy those massive chunky blocks, you might have to trim them down a bit to get the lid to sit flush. Bottom line: If you’re tired of looking at a messy butter wrapper or a cheap plastic tub, just get this. It’s a nice little daily upgrade.

I purchased the Le Creuset Stoneware butter dish a few months ago and have been really pleased with it. I chose the red color, which goes with my other Le Creuset pieces. I leave it out on the counter and keep a stick of butter in it so we have perfectly soft butter all the time. It looks great and keeps the butter fresh. The material is sturdy and beautiful and easy to clean. It goes in the dishwasher or is easily washed by hand.

This butter dish is the epitome of fancy stoneware. My husband, a potter himself, even gave his potter's seal of approval. It's heavy, the lid sits well into the base with a snug fit - as if these pieces were made to go together - and it appears to be pretty traditional and easy to use. I would recommend.

Butter dish color is perfect; it is sturdy and handle on lid is very helpful. Quality is nice and hope to enjoy it for years to come. Delivered on time and packaged very securely.

Update! They sent us a new butter dish out right away and it’s been fantastic!!! We love the “Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Butter Dish”, it’s just the right size, it’s made well, and it’s easy to wash. It’s a very cute and functional butter dish. —————————————————- The butter dish is great, well that is to say that it WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF …it didn’t come with a SHATTERED bottom piece. :-( I’m so bummed! The entire bottom plate was shattered into pieces! These dishes are expensive and it literally had ZERO protective measures taken for such a fragile item during shipping. There was ZERO protection in or around the item, just one little layer of cardboard…that’s it! I’m sure this will soon be a favorite piece of kitchenware in our home when we finally get the piece replaced with one that is not broken. Haha I have to say that at least they made the process of replacing it a breeze with GREAT customer service! :-)

This butterdish is functional and pretty! I chose the white. It has fantastic temperature retention and keeps the butter soft but not melted. It is durable and easy to clean. A great find that i’d buy again to gift to someone.

The inner boxes were damaged but the butter dish was intact, very happy with the dish

It's the best butter dish I've ever had!

Very nice butter dish

Never get disappointed with Les Creuset it’s beautiful and perfect size … love it

Lovely piece..
