Size please! How many sticks of butter does it hold? Thanks

It holds one European style 8oz butter piece (wider than American butter sticks). Could hold two 4oz sticks, but you may need to cut them.

It holds the rectangle european butter - the sticks might be too long for this dish!

6 1/2 " long and 3" high. Fits a stick of butter just right. It has worked very well for us.

6" l X 3.25" w X 2.5" h. The interior is just big enough to contain one stick of butter. The 2 ends are 2.25" w and it gets bigger going to the center.

this was a gift to my daughter i am unaware of dimensions other then this was a double width butter dish and you can put sticks of butter or whatever on the dish.

Yes--it does hold a full stick of butter. Pack it in with a spoon while it's still cold; it will be pretty level with the top of the "bell." You use 1/3 cup of water, and that amount forms a seal with the "bell," regardless of the amount of butter in the bell. It works great; I really like mine. :-)

the bottom piece where you place your stick of butter is 7-1/4" long and 4-3/4" across. The lid is 3"across and 5-3/4" long with the lid on it's 2-1/2" high, it holds a standard stick of butter nicely. Hope this helps.

I consider the prior responses to be right on. Because of the angles and curves in both the base and the lid, I was more conservative in my measurements. So my very conservative measurements were 2-1/4 wide X 5-1/4 long x 1-1/2 high. The interior space is more than sufficient for two sticks of butter.

1 and 1/2 sticks will fit fine. Let the butter soften and then pack it in with a teaspoon.

Inside bottom surface is about 2-7/8" wide by 5-1/4" long. Sides angle outward somewhat. Can place 2 sticks of butter side by side.

Yes it holds exactly 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter. You dont need to add water as you use the butter You just change the water every few days with about 1/3 cup cold water to keep everything fresh and cool.

Inside dimensions of the base are 3" by 5.75". Holds two quarter butter sticks. Height is about 2.25" but it's too small to hold a one pound chunk of butter.

Just one pat of butter...probably best to use 2 + for a dinner party..thought it held more.

I use one stick of softened butter (which is 1/4 lb or 1/2 cup) - it works perfectly.

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.

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.

I'm not sure but I think they are a standard size. I have this one by Le Creuset and when it's full,it holds half a pack of butter. As long as you change the cold water every couple of days and wipe around the bell part the butter lasts for ages and ages. I wouldn't be without mine.
