This is a perfect way to store your butter at room temperature. It's attractive and works well (as long as you remember to change the water as directed). It holds about 2 sticks of butter, is easy to clean, and provides spreadable butter whenever you want it!

This pot lives up to the quality I expect from Emile Henry. It's beautiful and well made. The design is better than others I've seen, with the opening smaller than the lid, making a "vee" when the lid is upside down in the water. I would have given it 5 stars except that the butter slides out when the room temp is warm, above about 75 degrees. I'm not sure about the exact temperature that I started finding butter floating in the water, but we had a cool summer and my house is air conditioned, so it wasn't too hot. When I think about it, I can't imagine a better design than this one, so I'm thinking this kind of device just isn't for warm temperatures. Other than that, it's great.

The Emile Henry butter keeper is particularly well-designed. Its "Bell" stores almost 8 oz of butter and is inverted, unlike most others, so the butter is far less likely to slide out - unless room temperatures are excessive.
These butter keepers certainly do a good job of keeping butter at room temperature and therefore nicely spreadable. I cannot confirm how long they prevent spoilage, but it would be far longer than the butter remains uneaten in this household. I do remember that my "fridgeless" great-grandmother used one back in the 1950's and never wasted her butter because of spoilage.
I prefer to leave the butter on the kitchen counter to come to room temperature. (It is far too easy to overheat it in the microwave, resulting in inferior texture.) Two sticks will completely fill the keeper leaving enough extra for about one piece of toast.
This is a replacement I ordered (same item, direct from Amazon.com) and has the perfect glaze quality I expect from this manufacturer, unlike the previous white one, which I (over-generously) gave 3 stars.
