The stainless steel item is a vintage-style covered butter dish designed to hold and protect a standard block of butter.
It consists of a flat, rectangular base tray with a raised rim and a matching domed lid. The lid has tapered down corners, which makes the appearance more domed than rectangular. The top of the lid features a small, integrated metal knob shaped like an hourglass or spool for easy lifting. It has a reflective, metallic surface that shows slight signs of wear and aging.
Feint surface scratches exist due to use.
Height with knob: 7.5 cm, Length: 18 cm, Width: 11 cm
