Vintage Studio Pottery Butter Bell by Rye Pottery

A beautiful and functional piece of vintage English studio pottery, handmade by Rye Pottery in East Sussex. This traditional butter bell, also known as a French butter keeper or butter crock, keeps butter fresh and spreadable without refrigeration. Simply pack the lid with butter, add a little water to the base, and invert to create an airtight seal.

Crafted in a soft, pale glaze with a cobalt blue swirl on the lid and hand-painted leaf detailing around the base, this piece feels both rustic and refined. It’s a lovely way to elevate your everyday breakfast table or weekend brunch ritual.

Stamped to the base:

“RYE POTTERY, HAND MADE IN ENGLAND”
