Helio Ferretti’s butter dish is glazed in a glossy, pale blue, with lettering set across the lid in bold raised yellow. It’s a playful, plain-speaking label that gives the table a little colour. The lid sits over a deeper blue base and covers a block of up to 250g, keeping it protected while it stays close to hand. Stoneware gives it a pleasing weight, and it’s equally at home on a breakfast table or a kitchen counter.
