The History of the Ceramic Butter Dish

It is not documented when the first handmade ceramic butter dish was made. But it is assumed that the first ceramic butter dishes were not square but round and were made of clay.

As butter used to be sold unpackaged, or was only packaged at the time of purchase after you told the seller how much butter you wanted, the first butter dishes were not limited to a specific size. It was only later that it became established to produce butter tins in the size of the pieces of butter that you can buy in the supermarket.

However, the size of a 250 gram piece of butter that you can buy pre-packed in the supermarket varies from country to country. In Germany, a 250 gram piece of butter usually measures approx. 10 cm long x 7.5 cm wide x 3.8 cm high, whereas in Switzerland, for example, it measures approx. 12 cm long x 6 cm wide x 2.5 cm high.
