I've had it for two weeks
So far the testing has all been positive. I puchased two of these butter crocks because it seemed a good idea to have a spare waiting when you emptied the first one.
My package arrived on time, very well packed and undamaged. I took a stick of butter out to warm to room temp while I washed the crocks.
Once they were washed, I packed the butter in very tightly with the back of a spoon, hopefully eliminating the channce of the butter falling out into the water. I put about 1/3-1/2 cup cold water in the bottom and put the butter in.
So far this crock has worked like a charm...I've changed the water three times and the butter is maintaining a nice yellow color and a texture that is absolutely perfect.
It remains to be seen how this will perform during the hot summer months...I don't like air conditioning and very seldom turn it on, so that could be a problem. We'll see this summer and update my review if necessary.

Christmas
I got this for my mother as a Christmas present because my brothers make a mess out of our butter stick we usually have. She loved it! And lovedd the red color so it matched the rest of our dishes! I couldn't find any that I liked in stores and the ones that had them at all were SO expensive, this was a great purchase!
Mom also appreciated the Chefs catalog that came in the box with it!

Have to Have
This is one kitchen item that pleased me so much, I bought several as gifts, and also have one for our camper. Being in the South, and having so much heat, it's a 'must have.' It keeps the butter nice and is roomy enough for one stick. Plus, it's a nice looking addition to the table.

Butter Bell Crock
This item is a luxury! Butter stays fresh and soft outside of the fridge because it is contained in a crock with water. The water keeps the butter air tight and, therefore, fresh! The crock holds only one stick of butter at a time but for me it is perfect because I live alone and not with a family. I chose the color red and it is wonderful! In the morning, I can spread soft butter on toast. Before I got this crock, I tried to spread cold butter out of the fridge but that only ripped the bread. Not anymore. This is a great old-fashioned invention that works wonders. We don't think about a simple thing like butter in the course of the day but now it's a pleasure to experience butter soft and yummy whenever I have bread. I highly recommend this item !

GOOD PRODUCT
This is a well-made ceramic butter bell. I like the bright color and it DOES work if you follow the instructions** I like the LeCruset products and use them often.

Just ok
Item was different than I thoughtit would be, my error, should have read the description better. It doe's the job it was intended for What I don't like is that you have to soften the butterto place it in the holding container. For some reason I though you loaded the container with a block of butter. It does work as it is described. I have an older model of this item and you put a stick of butter in a oblong shaped container. ( 1/4 lb.)I thought this would hold more.

Soft butter every morning!
I love spreadable butter but hate any sort of butter substitute. On top of that, I tend to eat a lot of grainy breads and muffins I prefer untoasted but I always had the problem of chunky bits of cold butter. This is so perfect for me! I can evenly spread REAL butter on my bread without tearing each slice. Plus, the crock itself is adorable and looks great on the kitchen table next to the jams and whatnot for breakfast. Buy one and while you're at it, get one for a friend! They will love you for it.
