This butter box is carved from a single piece of solid Japanese cherry wood, giving it a substantial and delicate texture. Its warm wood color and simple lines make it a natural focal point on the dining table, adding a touch of ritual to everyday mornings.
The natural protective power of wood |
Cherry wood is tough and durable, and is commonly used in the making of tableware and utensils. Even in a dry refrigerator environment, it is less prone to warping or cracking. The box is carved with an appropriate thickness to help mitigate the effects of rapid temperature changes on butter, preventing it from hardening due to frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator, and maintaining its ideal texture.
Size fits commercially available butter |
The internal space can directly hold approximately 200g of commercially available butter without pre-cutting. A recessed area inside the box can hold a butter knife (butter knife not included).
The luster of wood that develops over time |
With use, the wood will gradually darken in color due to contact with butter and grease, developing a natural luster. This change over time is the unique charm of wooden products.
