A: I really do not know where this item is made.  I bought it in red and believe the place it was made was listed with other information about the product.  I am enjoying mine.  It works great and I am thinking of buying some for presents.

**Q: How do you clean the bell and how frequently do you clean ut?**
A: Great question, please clean thoroughly in between uses and make sure the lid is completely dry before packing new butter into the lid. More info can be found here - https://www.butterbell.com/learn-more

**Q: Is the whole product glazed, inside and out?**
A: The lid of the Butter Bell crock (the rim) is unglazed due to the fact that it sits in the kiln to be fired on this side, thus no glazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soft, Spreadable Butter Anytime
*by A***R on May 26, 2026*

I ordered this Butter Bell because I’ve been doing a lot more baking lately, making fresh breads and scones regularly. The one thing I kept running into was rock-hard butter straight from the refrigerator- not ideal when you want something that spreads smoothly without tearing up warm bread. This ceramic butter crock solves that problem beautifully. The butter stays soft, spreadable, and ready to use right on the counter, which has made breakfast much more enjoyable. It also keeps the butter protected and fresh. I was nervous at first because the crock is a fairly substantial ceramic piece and I worried someone in the family would chip or break it quickly. Happily, it’s proven to be sturdier than I expected. We’ve all been using it daily and it still looks perfect, not even a scratch so far. The matte black finish is modern, like my decor, and attractive. We leave it out on the counter all the time. This is a super practical kitchen item for anyone who enjoys fresh bread, baking, or just easy-to-spread butter.
