Buying a cheap small butter dish is as easy as counting one to ten. But have you thought of what happens when you try to save some bucks and buy a low-quality item?

However, many options can make the selection process stressful, which is why here is a set of tips on how to pick the best butter dish for sale.

But bigger size options are also available in the market. So, before you head for shopping, know what your needs and what size fits in demand are.
  • Choose a shape – Just like size, standard butter containers are rectangular boxes with lids. However, you can also find pot like butter containers that are ideally perfect for keeping melted butter. Once again, the choice depends on how you like to have your butter. And what will be the most appropriate shape according to your needs?
  • Pick a colour – From plain white and off-white options in porcelain to marble grey, Chinese blue, black and shades of aqua, these pots have a whole world of colours. You can pick a colour that matches, if not all, then most of your existing crockery. This way, you can add aesthetics to your dining and make the dish part of your existing collectables.
  • Stick to a material – As mentioned earlier, these containers come in a variety of materials. You must note that each element serves differently and have both pros and cons. The choice must be according to your needs and personal preferences. Households with kids should have durable (steel made) pots to avoid a mess. Otherwise, marble is a classy item for any setting.
  • Brand and price – The price of the product will vary according to brand, size, looks, and additional features (insulation or knife holders).
