How many of you use a butter-dish? And what's yours like?

I bought a cute all-white cow with horns butter dish at Target many years ago. I still love it!

My sister has a friend who's a glass-blower and he makes incredibly beautiful butter dishes that are true ART pieces... I'd love to have one one day- alas they are far too expensive for my budget! Until then I'm MORE than happy with my cutesy one.

I don't own a butter dish...I do have some Antique Dishes and Glasses that were my Granny's but no butter dish.
Kev...I love handblown glass. I have a pair of earrings that are handblown...they are little Hummingbirds....lol..but it is expensive to buy.

I believe you may be correct about the set, Brook. I only got the butter-dish though. (I was waiting for you to tell me that cows have no horns!)

Also, I have a milk-glass daisy vase that I was given from a box of stuff from my former Sunday School Teacher's estate. I keep it in a treasured place atop the cabinets in my kitchen with other items I hope the cats never figure out how to get to!

Your ear-rings sound fun, Francie!

My sister's friend has a big showing/sale of his work every holiday season at a bazaar held at the university... I buy a trio of blown glass Christmas Tree ornaments each year just to support his craft, but they are the cheapest things he sells and they aren't offered in singles and they're almost $100.00/trio. His awesome butter-dishes are over $200.00! Beautiful- but I won't own anything that will cause me to slip into a deep depression if I happen to break it!

Sorry, double post.
