Salads, pastas, cheese; furnish your dinner table with decorative serving pieces for all occasions by Emma Bridgewater. Butter is always needed – at breakfast, at supper, on toast or potatoes – so house it in something cheerful and pleasing. Take our Poppies & Pinks Small Butter Dish as the perfect example. It’s a proper lidded butter dish that earns its keep by keeping butter at the right temperature, but it also adds a bit of ceremony to the table.
