French Perle White™ Covered Butter Dish

I want to love this butter dish, but there is so much that was done wrong with the design. First of all, and most importantly, the cover is exactly the size of a stick of butter. I mean, you really have to try hard to place it over the butter without hitting it and getting the butter up the side/ends of the cover. Seriously? They couldn't have just made it one centimeter bigger? As a secondary thing, the little "knob" at the top of the butter dish is just a ball, but on the sugar dish it's a little flower. Shouldn't it match? I did know this before I bought it and I admit I'd have been fine with it (although not as happy as if it actually matched), but overall, this butter dish is a let down. I'll use it on holidays, but will do so knowing it will be a mess.

I was so happy to see this piece added to the collection. It is lovely.
