is this marble butter keeper carved from pure marble or is it a resin composite of marble dust plus other questionable materials?

I think it is marble because it is so heavy and i bought 5 different things to sit on my counter one was sent back and i got a replacement and it was broken in transit and the pieces sure looked like real marble to me sure would cut you real easy when in pieces/i know i cut my hand because i dumped the butter keeper into my hand by turning box upside down and i cut myself pretty bad//so my guess is yes it is marble because it looks and cuts like glass.

I have never had mold in ceramic or marble. I really like my new marble, seems to keep the butter cold enough. It is important to change the water every other day and wash the entire thing when a cube of butter runs out.

I would say it's some type of molded resin. doesn't fell like plastic, has a good texture in my opinion.

The top of mine is made from a creamy colored slab of marble. It's a beautiful piece of furniture.

I am not an expert on marble, but everyone who has seen mine had admired it and one of my friends (an interior decorator) identified it as Carara (?) marble without me telling her. She was amazed that I purchased it at Amazon.

I believe that it is all wood and the bit of carving is rather nice. The distressed idea of this product is not at all great The finished product has dark gray lines like it was distressed. It would be better if they discontinued this process. Otherwise it is a great table for a small space and I would not hesitate to buy another one if I needed it. Good priceand as a female I love assembling it because it is so easy.

Looks like actual teak to me, or an extremely good imitation...definitely not plastic or composite.

I am not a geologist, but I can say that it is heavier than it looks, and that the bowl and pestle are each one solid piece. There are grooves from rough milling around the outside of the bowl (as there were on the inside before it was seasoned), and the saw marks are clearly visible where the feet were carved out. It's obviously not some type of cast material. That is all I can say for certain, but I'd bet money it's genuine. Oh yeah, the bottoms of the feet are also polished smooth to lessen damage to countertops and things, and it shows a transition from the rough surface to the polished with no extra coating of any kind. Hopefully this is enough information for you. I am not a geologist, but I can say that it is heavier than it looks, and that the bowl and pestle are each one solid piece.

No it is not. My contractor opened it today. It is white marble. What do I do?

Looks like the entire chair is made of resin. The rockers definitely are. It's hard to see what's under the strips wrapped around the supports but I think it is also molded resin. The chair is extremely light. It is holding up well here although our winter has been mild in the Bay Area. I leave it out on my front porch year round.

I believe its wood and wood composite. It is a beautiful piece. It would truly look good in any room in the house.

It appears to be a solid piece of birchwood. I am very pleased with my pieces. 3mm is super thin and it is very sturdy.

I don't know what kind of wood because I never received the item. The marble broke in transit. So I purchased a different one from Amazon that I truly love. An looks way way expensive than the Coaster Bar.

I believe the base is fiberglass. I don't know if the marble is carrara. The edge is round.

It's marble veneer. Very thin (~1/4" thick) slabs of marble glued to cover a thicker wood slab on the top and sides. Under the bottom the wood and glue or epoxy is visible, but you have to be under it to see. You can see on the sides where the edges of the marble veneer pieces meet if you look very closely, but otherwise it has the appearance of a solid marble slab. Setting tableware on it I can tell from the sound it is not solid stone, but not sure anyone else would notice.

Basically molded resin. They are heavier than plastic, and the coloring of the resin in both colors is made to have the look and texture of a carved and polished stone. This is my second set, the first was purchased in Scotland at the museum and was of lower quality. This set, the one in question, is of better design and materials in my opinion. Hope that helps.

It's made from a glazed ceramic or pottery. It has a wooden lid. It seals good and looks great. We like it a lot. I would buy it again.
