Hand thrown studio pottery, stoneware French butter keeper in speckled earth tones. There are some small glaze chips on the inside rim that you can see in the photo. These are small and in no way detract from the functionality of the butter keeper and are certainly not noticeable when the top is in place. The bottom is marked with a "W" inside a beehive, but I do not know the identity of the pottery studio. The butter keeper is about 5" tall and 4" in diameter at the top.
