Full details
The William Morris Strawberry Thief Butter Dish is designed for kitchen enthusiasts and fans of classic heritage patterns who appreciate both utility and aesthetic charm. It serves as a beautiful centerpiece for breakfast tables or kitchen counters while keeping butter fresh and protected. While its fine china base is durable, the included wooden lid requires careful manual maintenance to ensure longevity, making it less suitable for those who prefer strictly dishwasher-safe kitchenware.

FAQs
Is this butter dish dishwasher safe?
The fine china base is generally dishwasher safe, but the wooden lid must be hand-washed only to prevent damage.
Will a full 250g block of butter fit?
Yes, the dimensions are designed to accommodate a standard-sized block of butter comfortably.
What material is the lid made from?
The lid is crafted from high-quality wood and features an embossed William Morris emblem.
Can I store the dish in the refrigerator?
Yes, the fine china is safe for refrigerator use, though the wooden lid may be affected by extreme moisture changes over long periods.
Is the pattern likely to fade over time?
By hand-washing the china base instead of using harsh dishwasher detergents, the pattern will remain vibrant for many years.
Troubleshooting
Butter is too soft inside the dish
Ensure the butter dish is kept away from direct heat sources such as ovens, toasters, or direct sunlight.
Wooden lid fits tightly
Wood can expand in humid environments. Ensure the lid is kept in a dry area and allow it to fully air dry after cleaning.
Minor stains on the wooden lid
Gently rub the stained area with a fine-grit sandpaper or a small amount of food-safe mineral oil to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Before first use, gently rinse the china base with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe the wooden lid with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Compatibility: The dish is designed to hold a standard sized block of butter comfortably. It is suitable for use on dining tables, kitchen islands, or countertops.
- Care: The china base is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the longevity of the intricate Strawberry Thief pattern. The wooden lid should strictly be hand-washed with mild soap and dried immediately; never submerge the lid in water or place it in the dishwasher, as this may cause the wood to warp or crack.
