I did not realize this was made of plastic, ak s butter crocks are usually ceramic. It does keep the butter nice and fresh from fridge odors and the lid is fairly tight. I think it is a little big. I didn't realize the dimensions. Usually one or two sticks fit in a butter crock but this holds at least a full four sticks. To some that may actually be a positive. I don't use that much butter at a time so I usually only have one or two sticks out from the freezer. Other than that I love the bamboo top and it's quite stylish. #viralix #Adirombutterdish #butterdish
