Butter Dish: Emma Bridgewater Black Toast Butter Dish, Ceramic

Our Emma Bridgewater Black Toast Half Pound Butter Dish is one of the most recognisable pieces in the beloved Black Toast collection.

Handmade in Stoke-on-Trent from English earthenware, it combines practical everyday storage with the distinctive wit and character that has made Emma Bridgewater a British household favourite for decades.

Designed to hold a standard half-pound pack of butter, it keeps butter cool, fresh and beautifully presented while adding personality to your kitchen worktop or breakfast table.

What makes this butter dish particularly special is the charming typography. Around the base you’ll find the words “HALF A POUND of BEST BUTTER”, while the lid carries the playful phrase “DON’T LET THE CAT GET The BUTTER” — classic Emma Bridgewater humour that brings a smile every time it’s used.
