I have 2 of them, but discovered Land 'o Lakes butter with canola oil in a container. It spreads on bread and I love it. Now I only use the bar butter for baking.

I could have posted the exact same thing.

I still have and use my original butter boats. Don't know how we survived without them!

This idea has been submitted to Tara many times. There are a number of vessels on various websites that are made just like the original, just not pretty patterns to match our sets. Don't know why it has taken her so long to get on the bandwagon with this item, but I hope she does one too.

I have read threads about "butter boats" on the Q before and I have never had one but most seem to really like using them. If Tara does come out with one, it is something I would buy! Maybe she has this is her future plans?

Here ya go: you put water (or ice if you're in a very hot climate) in the bottom chamber & the stick butter goes in the middle chamber to keep it fresh. Loved mine, found this on Amazon and may have to order. QVC used to sell them in different patterns, I think it would be perfect for TT.

They really do make a difference, I've gifted them and I dropped and broke mine. I'm holding out for a TT one.

I use a regular butter dish and my butter does not spoil at room temperature.

i would love to see this also, but only in solid colors! if it has to have a pattern, then i prefer just a simple raised pattern like a vine.

I had an Aunt that I would spend weeks with during the Summer and she always kept her butter in a pyrex dish with lid in her cupboard. Being young and her being the only one I had ever seen do this I thought it odd. Now that I'm older I understand, the butter boat is a great idea and I have seen them in B&M stores.

My mother-in-law always kept a covered stick of butter in a kitchen drawer! That worked just fine.
