Maxwell & Williams White Basics Butter Bell

Beautifully spreadable butter, without the fuss.

There's something rather lovely about a traditional butter bell — a clever little kitchen essential that's been keeping butter soft and ready to spread for generations.

The Maxwell & Williams White Basics Butter Bell combines timeless design with everyday practicality. Crafted from quality white porcelain, its classic styling looks right at home on the kitchen bench or breakfast table.

Designed to hold butter in its inverted lid, the bell sits inside a base containing a little cold water. This creates a water seal that helps keep air away from the butter, allowing it to stay soft and spreadable without refrigeration when used and maintained correctly.

Perfect for those who appreciate the simple pleasure of butter that doesn't tear their toast!

How to Use

1. Pack softened butter firmly into the bell-shaped lid, removing any air pockets.

2. Add a little cold water to the base, enough to create a seal when the bell is inverted.

3. Turn the butter-filled lid upside down and place it into the base.

4. Change the water regularly, ideally every 1–2 days, and keep the butter bell in a cool location.

For best results, use fresh butter and follow appropriate food safety practices. Refrigerate butter during hot weather or when room temperatures are unsuitable.
