Butter Dishes

The other day my better half asked me if we really needed all those butter dishes in the cupboard....

I was going to say YES YES YES! But then I realized that we hadn't put butter in a butter dish since FOREVER!

Of course as a MAJOR Pyrex hoarder I want all my pieces with me all the time....The Pyrex channel...Just Pyrex....24 hours a day!


But as a somewhat reasonnable person, I will put them away in the basement and just keep one in the cupboard in case I have company and need to serve butter...

Now which one would you keep?

  1. Not fair! WE have to choose just one? I think I would choose the Autumn Harvest for fall. I am in love with the green Spring Blossoms for well, Spring! Gosh I only have one butter dish, the Butterprint. Love them all!!!

  2. I would put them in an easily accessible place and switch them out with the seasons. But, if I had to pick just one, I would go with the Butterprint.

  5. They're all gorgeous, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick either the black & white one in the upper right or the Butterprint. Okay, that's two...

  6. This post made me think of a butter dish that I got years ago from my MIL and gave away... I think it might have been Pyrex and I didn't know any better.

    Oh the horror!

  7. My fave is the Butterprint, but I would keep that one for display! I'd use Snowflake Blue! (That's what I use at my house, anyway!)

  10. My very first piece of Pyrex was actually the Spring Blossom butter dish! My sister picked it out for me when I moved into my apartment and I've been in love with Pyrex ever since!!

  12. My daughter just picked ours out, so I guess that answers that question. I remember when I was able to swap our Butterblossom for The blue snowflakes, it was a good moment for our blue and white kitchen. Of course there is a better blue and white one up there, hmmm....

  13. Ok, then. It's official. Now I am hooked.Never knew I liked Pyrex. I'm going out today and stopping at the local thrift store to search for my first piece. Well, actually, I do own 2 pieces already, two cranberry glass baking dishes, but they're modern day. Still I like their colour.

    Impressive collection, by the way.
