will two standard-size (1/4 lb) sticks of butter fit in this dish?

yes. I just wish that it had a knob on the top of the lid for easier lifting of the lid

It can fit 2 regular sticks, so I think the shorter, thicker sticks would fit.

An 8 oz. block of Philadelphia brand cream cheese will not fit on this butter dish. It holds a standard stick of butter in a recessed area with 1/4 inch space around it.

Since a stick of butter in our region of the country measures 4 3/4" by 1 1/4", this attractive, sturdy, pretty butter dish adequately holds the butter with room to use a knife to cut off what you need. The bottom is 7" by 2 15/16", covered by a top at 6 5/8" by 2 1/2". The lower lip of the bottom keeps melted butter from spilling off of it on a warm summer day. A wonderful dish!

I have had a couple of the shorter sticks in it at a time... I usually use the regular, longer sticks...I don't want a whole pound of butter out at once, but I have thought if I wanted to, I could unwrap and put an entire pound of the long sticks into this butter dish.. not sure how a pound of the shorter ones would work.

It definitely does hold a stick of butter with room to spare, unfortunately it was a gift so I don't have the exact measurements, but it is significantly larger than the other butter dish fiestaware makes.

Hi Kara. It is not necessarily messy. The problem is cutting the butter the right size/height to fit. I love the dish but wish it were average size for a stick of butter. Just a little more trouble than it's worth.

As near as I can tell using a tape measure, the internal tray where the butter sits is 5.0" long x 2.9" wide x 1.5" deep. The corners of the tray are rounded, and the lid has about 0.4" clearance above the tray near the sides. I estimate the largest rectangular stick of butter that will fit, without touching anything but the bottom, is about 4.5" x 2.6" x 1.8".

a beautiful piece but does not hold a 1lb block of butter ..... a bit too short both in length and height ..... must trim to fit

No, but there is enough space to add a new stick of butter (end to end) next to one that is more than half-gone. The width is fit to a single 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.

The internal dimensions of the dish (the inside of the cover that goes over the butter) is 6" Long, 2-1/2" wide and 2" deep. The dish beneath the butter is 4-1/8" by 8-1/4" It easily fits standard sticks of butter without touching the butter.

As long as you don't use "corn holders" on each end, a cob of corn fits very nicely. They are about 7-1/2 inches in length inside. These dishes work great for melting your butter right in the dish in the microwave, then popping the corn in to roll it around. Perfect!

I have no idea, when I bought this there was just one size, and it was the only butter dish that would fit the Irish Gold grass fed butter bars, since they are so wide.

It holds one stick of butter which is half a cup...you just let the butter soften to room temp and pack it in...fits perfectly..I love mine!

The dimensions are: Outside 8 1/4" X 4" and Inside 6" X 3". I find that I can put 1 1/2 cubes of butter inside, end to end. Hope this helps you decide.

It holds those long skinny butters and the shorter fatter guys, the usual commercial grocery store butter sizes. It is a good sized butter dish for commercial butter sticks.
