French Butter Dish - comes to us from the nineteenth century. Sometimes called a butter keeper or butter crock, it's a low-tech way to keep butter soft and fresh without refrigeration. Today it is more popular in North America than in France.

To use a French Butter Dish fill the top (left) with butter. Fill the base (centre) 1/4 full of cold water. Place the top into the base (right). If you have enough water it will create an airtight seal that keeps oxygen away from the butter (oxygen is what turns butter rancid).

Salt Pot - Also known as salt cellar, salt kit, and salt pig, potters started making these items in the late eighteenth century in the north of England. They are designed to sit by the stove, and the small birchwood spoon holds ¼ teaspoon of salt.

Baking Dish - This is part of a stacking ovenware set that comes in three sizes.
Large - 10 3/4" wide by 3" high
Medium - 8 3/4" wide by 2 3/4"
Small - 6 3/4" wide by 2 1/2" high
