Manteca butter dish

The Manteca butter dish should not fool you with its name, as it can hold other treasures too. It’s still the perfect complement to your breakfast, alongside our egg cruet and toast rack. Made by hand in Estudio Vernís studio. Fired with pine wood in their backyard. They are all unique.

The Manteca butter dish is made from high quality stoneware and fired to high temperature (1280ºC), which makes the final pieces extremely strong. 

All the glazes are formulated by Estudio Vernís to make the most of the wood-firing and specially to guarantee that they are food-safe and they resist the passing of time.

CLEANING

Both the stoneware and the glazes they use are dishwasher friendly. They are tested on restaurants and cafes, where they have proved to be resistant to ovens, microwaves and dishwashers.

PASSAGE OF TIME

What makes their pieces unique can also make them more delicate. It is possible that the appearance of the pieces changes with the passing of time, sun exposure, and use, specially on unglazed surfaces. The piece will age alongside you and its look will be result of all of its experiences.

Crackles may appear over time and can stain naturally due the use of high colored liquids, like coffee or tea. Since all of their pieces are fired at high temperature, all of them are vitrified properly so there is nothing toxic or dangerous that can leach out from the crackle glazes.

Due to the nature of our process the pieces’ finish is beautifully unpredictable from batch to batch. Please expect slight variations in size/form/glaze from the pictured piece.
