Butter Sanctum

Ceramic Butter Storage

A clean, elegant kitchen relies on materials that do not degrade or alter the quality of your ingredients. This minimalist, high-fire ceramic jar and lid set is engineered for countertop storage, table serving, or small-batch ingredient prep.

Product Architecture & Dimensions

Because precision matters for kitchen storage, please note the exact specifications and capacities of this two-piece set:

• The Storage Jar (Base):

  • Top Diameter: 10.5 cm (approx. 4.1 inches)

  • Bottom Diameter: 9.6 cm (approx. 3.8 inches)

  • Height: 8 cm (approx. 3.1 inches)

  • Weight: 319 grams

  • Liquid Capacity: 90 ml (approx. 3.04 US fl oz)

• The Pedestal Lid / Cover:

  • Top Diameter: 8.5 cm (approx. 3.3 inches)

  • Bottom Base Diameter: 11 cm (approx. 4.3 inches)

  • Height: 8.5 cm (approx. 3.3 inches)

  • Weight: 313 grams

  • Liquid Capacity: 200 ml (approx. 6.76 US fl oz)

Please Note: Because these pieces are individually finished, minor dimensional variances of 1–3mm and slight weight fluctuations may occur during production. This is standard for kiln-fired ceramics.

The Material Benefits (The Facts)

• 100% Non-Porous Ceramic: Unlike plastic containers, high-fired ceramic does not absorb food oils, fats, or strong acidic liquids. It prevents residual flavor transfer entirely from one use to the next.

• Naturally Odor-Resistant: Garlic, specialized spices, salted butter, or fermented ingredients can be stored without permanently staining or leaving lingering odors in the container.

• Lead-Free & Food-Safe Glaze: The rich, deep red protective glaze creates a smooth, glassy barrier that is completely non-toxic and safe for direct everyday food contact.

• Modular Utility: The unique pedestal lid is designed to serve a dual purpose. It can act as an airtight cover for the 90ml base jar, or be inverted to serve as a secondary 200ml presentation cup for salt, butter, sugar, or sauces.

Care, Usage & Disclosures (What to Expect)

• Thermal Limits: While ceramic is naturally heat-resistant, it is susceptible to thermal shock. Do not transfer the jar directly from a freezing refrigerator into a boiling microwave or oven, as sudden, extreme temperature shifts can cause the clay to crack.

• Not Shock-Proof: This is a premium clay-based ceramic product. Dropping it onto hard countertops or stone floors will cause chipping or shattering. Handle with care.

• Airtight Status: This unit relies on a precision ceramic-on-ceramic fit. Because it does not utilize a plastic or silicone gasket, it provides a natural dust and light shield but is not a 100% hermetically vacuum-sealed container. It is best suited for daily-use counter storage rather than long-term moisture-sensitive preservation
