The Mini Butter Dish is designed to help you create beautifully balanced, functional butter dishes with consistency and ease. This thoughtfully designed mold system helps simplify slab building while giving you clean lines, smooth curves, and a refined professional finish.
Perfectly sized to fit one long rectangular ¼ lb stick of butter, this smaller format butter dish is ideal for everyday use while still feeling elevated and handmade.
While designed specifically for butter dishes, this versatile mold can also inspire a variety of other slab-built forms and functional pottery projects.
Handmade at Pearl & Fern Pottery Supplies and Plants, this mold is durable, easy to use, and designed for repeated studio use.
How to Use
Roll out an even slab of clay to your desired thickness.
Lightly dust the mold or slab with cornstarch to help prevent sticking.
Place your slab over the mold form and gently press to shape.
Use the additional mold components to help define edges and create a consistent fit between lid and base.
Trim away excess clay and refine edges as desired.
Allow the piece to firm up slightly before removing from the mold.
Assemble, refine, decorate, dry, and fire as desired.
