"A piece of nature, hand-formed, carefully finished. Each piece so simple, so imperfectly perfect...unique.”
The butter dish is made of gray clay and covered with a white or bronze matte glaze. It has a pattern on the plate that allows the butter to stick to the base better and not slide on the plate.
The plate can also be used for other purposes, and the lid can also be a cute baking dish. The container is suitable for use in the refrigerator, oven, and can be washed in the dishwasher.
The price is for one piece.

HOW IS CERAMICS MADE?
Each piece is hand-crafted and carefully crafted, the uniqueness and range of colored glazes offer an abundance of results also in terms of shades and surface details. This means that each piece is completely unique. No product will ever be exactly the same as another. Throughout the entire creation process, each product passes through my hands several times, giving it the energy of love and warmth that only a handmade piece has. Energy that you can feel and that creates a special and unique experience when using it.
WHAT IS STONEWARE?
Stoneware is a type of ceramics. It is made of special clay that can be fired at temperatures above 1200°C. As an example - traditional Slovenian red clay ceramics are fired at 1050°C, and porcelain at 1300°C. High-temperature stoneware has special properties - it is resistant to mechanical and chemical influences, has low porosity and hardly absorbs water. Such products are solid, resistant to crumbling, and more compact to the touch.
HOW LONG DOES PRODUCTION TAKE?
It takes about three weeks to go from wet clay to a usable product. During creation, the product goes through several stages of production, and to this we must add the time required for drying, firing and cooling. The process is time-consuming, but it creates durable products that last forever when used properly.

CAN I WASH CERAMIC IN THE DISHWASHER?
Ceramics can be washed in the dishwasher. Even long-term machine washing will not affect the color, surface or usability of the product.
CAN I USE THE PRODUCTS IN THE OVEN?
You can. Since all products are made of high-temperature clay, they can be used for baking and heating in a regular or microwave oven without special preparation. You can use them as a baking tray or a base for baking. I only recommend using it in a bread oven, where uneven temperature distribution can cause damage.
ARE GLAZES HARMFUL TO HEALTH?
All paints and glazes are suitable for contact with food, as evidenced by the corresponding technical or safety data sheets and appropriate testing. Glazes are harmful to health in their raw, dusty state. After firing, these substances are inseparably bound in the glass-like surface of the glaze, which is not sensitive to aging, acids, bases and even heat up to 700°C.
