I saw the dome shaped ones you are talking about and I am planning on making that shape as well. I am not taking this on as a challenge for myself to make a bunch of these butter dishes. Years ago I made some round ones (Europe has round butter and so do the Amish) but they were too low for the butter. This one looks a bit tall but will shrink, we shall see how it turns out but I'll be back in the studio tomorrow to try a couple of other shapes like the one you mentioned. Thanks for the info.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-47255566394807670062017-10-07T14:59:26.599-04:002017-10-07T14:59:26.599-04:001x1x4 3/41x1x4 3/4Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-69759618395159366072017-10-07T14:58:55.100-04:002017-10-07T14:58:55.100-04:00Put me down for one.

I pass on dishes without lids. What's the point?<br />Good lids are big enough not to nick the stick of butter by old hands like mine.<br />The best lid I ever had was a dome. Think a square piece of clay and each end is like a bee hive. The square is laid over two end squares that have the top rounded. If you need a picture, let me know. <br />It had a handle like you have. The base actually was pretty flat, not formed like yours.<br />My sister's cat knocked it off the counter. It broke. Never, ever found any butter dish like it since.
