What Is a Butter Crock and How Do You Use It? | Eater

"The author, Rai Mincey, cites a personal favorite from a small pottery as “it’s dainty, chic, and available in an assortment of patterns to match your vibe.” She emphasizes that the butter keepers are “handmade and glazed individually, so you’ll have a uniquely appealing piece of art to place alongside your recipe box or utensil holder.” Framed as both practical and decorative, these crocks use the classic lid-with-a-well + water-holding base design that preserves butter at room temperature in a perpetual state of spreadability, and are presented as a countertop style statement for kitchens that value functionality and small moments of ceremony. For more handmade options, the author recommends Etsy, calling it “a goldmine of ceramicists making crocks so beautiful they double as decor.”" - Rai Mincey
