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

Not an answer, but a question - did you ever find a dish for Kerrygold type butter?Thanks
279305
no, the dish will not hold half a pound of butter. it is made to hold one stick which is 1/4 pound

Because I am not certain of the shape of your butter, I shall tell you that a rectangleof butter, 5 by 11 centimeters, will fit in this sturdy butter dish. The dish is a bitlarge for our 1/4 pound sticks of butter. You would probably be better served with another butter dish.

I don't think it would fit. It is designed for an american quarter pound stick.

The dish will comfortably hold something 6 cm wide and 10 cm long. You would get a better answer if you stated the dimensions rather than weight of butter.

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.

It would be a tight fit. A quarter lb. stick works best. The dish is the usual high quality expected from Dansk.
279311
No it fits a quarter LB of butter only. It is a very lovely butter dish however.

On second thought you should look for a Polish Pottery butter dish, much wider.

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.

Hello, I make luxury soaps for a living, so Pyrex measuring cups are very necessary in my day-to-day. I just put my large one on the scale for you, and it said 2 lbs 14 oz. 1 lb = 16 ounces, so it is approx. 3 lbs. This cup measures by volume, and not weight. Meaning, 10 cups of water is a different weight from 10 cups of heavy cream. 5 cups of melted butter is a different weight than 5 cups of beer for a batter. The volume measurement is the same, but the actual weight is different. Therefore, I can't speak to what you liquids will weigh when this container is filled. While empty, you only require one hand to lift the large measuring cup. It also has a very comfortable handle for gripping. The handle does not get hot, however, if you are going to fill it with a hot liquid, I would recommend you hold the handle with one hand, and use an over-mitt to steady the container underneath. This is not necessarily a requirement, but just for added safety. It is a great product. I would very much recommend it to you. I've tried others because they seemed cheaper, but in the end, Pyrex is more convenient, lasts longer, and its measurements are always accurate. I'll remember to check back to see if you have any other questions.

Can anyone tell me if a casseole dish will fit on this oven. A reg. size one like a 9x13. biggefr would be great!

I use Amazon a lot and I've found that the "Product Dimensions" listed in the product details on Amazon (in this case 10.7 x 5 x 5 inches ; 11.6 pounds) usually describe the unopened package/box rather than the actual product. I don't put much faith in Amazon's description of product size because I find it is often wrong. I don't think they could be correct for this product at any rate since the larger dish is 3 quart, 13x9 inches. Much better to do as you did and ask the question of people that have already purchased this product. Hope this helps.

I'm happy to tell you that the salad/dessert forks are an appropriate size. You're right though - I have another set by WMF and the salad/dessert forks are a very silly size. I think you'll be happy with this set & it's a good weight.

I have had no trouble with this butter dish. It is glass so you should know not to pick it up with wet hands. The dish fits nicely in your hand and looks great on the table no matter what the occasion.

I measured mine and it is 8 1/2" long including the "wings" on each end of the inner compartment where the butter goes. It's It's about 4" high to the top of the handle. And it's about 3 1/4" wide. The inner butter compartment can hold a long, skinny butter quarter or it can hold the shorter, wider butter quarters.

one order is one pound or 8 ounces of butter. I usually order about 4 at a time. The unsalted sells out fairly quickly. Good luck. Hope this is helpful to you

I've seen exactly this flatware the same brand the same quality in BedBathandBeyond but separately. The say that it's 18/10 for sure. I touched it - it looks and feel really great quality - polished and white. $2 a piece. But here it says that it's 18/0. I don't know what to do :( I think about to buy it - but not sure about official quality.

No, this dish is very small and will only hold 1/2 cube of butter. There is a 7 inch dish that looks just like this one, but it only holds one cube. I am not aware of a similar one that holds 2 cubes.

The butter dish fits a stick of butter that is 1 inch wide and 4.5 inches long. (8TBSP)

I usually follow measurements except for French dressing. It's been awhile since I made Italian so I can't remember. You can adjust it to your tastes.

Hello, I am sorry, I forgot to take it down and measure it last night - I know when i made a standard cheesecake and fit perfectly with extra room on the edges to spare - same with a bundt cake. It is really nice quality and beautiful. I was very pleased with this purchase. :)
