Hi, Will this hold a 1-pound block of butter? That is, can I flip it over and use it as a butter dish for the big blocks and not the 1/4 sticks?

I purchased the five cup one and you could definitely store a big block of butter in it. Unsure about the 2 cupper.

I have never purchase a 1lb block of butter but this dish can be used upside down. The dimensions inside of the lip of the lid or base as you want to use it are 3.5" X 3.5". Hope that helps.

Butter does not fall even though it is upside down. As for kids using it that is iffy, as it is ceramic.

no, the dish will not hold half a pound of butter. it is made to hold one stick which is 1/4 pound

I don't think so. There is extra room with the 1/4 lb. stick but the length means it needs to be in the middle of the dish. Do you have the dimensions of the 1/2 lb. stick? I am thinking it is more square.

Hi. I don't know what 'European style' butter is but I can give this description of the dish. It is considered oversized in that the plate part is wider than most you'd find. The lid bows out slightly on the sides so it is a bit wider. It clears a quarter stick by far but is NOT tall or wide enough to fit a whole pound of butter. It is best suited for only a quarter pound stick and being oversized is really just for being decorative and sturdy. Hope that helps!

This holds a "normal" 1/2 pound stick of butter. This butter dish is very heavy. Although it has a lid handle, it can slip out of your hand very easily if you don't have a good grip on it.

No it doesn't, this only holds 1 stick of butter but I love them. It's more presentable than the regular butter holder.

it will hold the width and length, but the interior height is about .5" too short...it would be tight/lift the lid a bit, but could work if you trimmed or softened the butter....

no andit is small but it can hold 2 sticks of butter little overpriced. I seen one my sister had and had to order it. I love it been on my counter ever since I purchased it

I believe Amazon might have them listed backwards but I would check with customer service before ordering. The biggest difference between the 2 is that one holds a full pound of butter (4 long quarter pound sticks stacked together or the large full pound sticks we buy at Sam's Club or the farmers market), we have the full pound version & love it, the other version only holds a half pound of butter.

One dish and one cover. If you look closely the dish is designed to hold a half stick of butter. When we received our dish we were forced to buy another dish that held a whole stick.

Ensure butter is little soft when you put it in and if you press the butter well against the wall, it won't fall. But if it does, just put it back in :)

I put 2 standard sticks side by side but I have not tried a full pound block, but my guess is that it will.

Buy the smaller butter dish. The X-Large is way too large for a standard stick of butter.

I bought this butter dish, and the size is fine for me. The dimensions of the tray are about 8" by 4". However the tray has a little raised ridge inside to keep the lid in proper alignment, and a quarter pound stick of butter fits inside this area nicely, with about a quarter inch of room around each edge of the butter. (The area inside the edge is about 6" by 2.25".) Hope this helps.

Not really. I actually like the dish, but was a bit surprised at how small it was when it arrived. It looks much larger in the photo. I used it for a small bundt type cake and it couldn't hold all of the batter from my normal cake recipe.

I dont belive so..its a pretty dish,but there is no room to grab it and pick it up and carry it,so just waiting to drop it and crash.It only holds a regular stick..so a bit short .sorry
