Butter Box

  I am a Butter Box. Butter be safe than sorry about how you serve and spread.   Curator's Notes    Good butter can carry the dish that it's eaten with, so why not a nice container to carry it? As one of Mitani's first tableware piece, the simplicity of his signature mountain cherry box is perfect for serving and sits elegantly on your dining table. With a spreader that fits into its case, this butter box exemplifies the considered approach Mitani has towards form and function.   Butter Box was curated by Stevenson Aung   Designer/Maker    Maker: Ryuji Mitani   Designer: Ryuji Mitani   Specifications   Dimensions:  3.3” (w) x 5.8” (l) x 2.0” (h) or 84mm (w) x 147mm (l) x 51mm (h)   Weight:  8.1 oz or 230 g   Materials: Mountain Cherry Wood   Details Handcrafted in Matsumoto, Japan Original design created by Ryuji Mitani in 1983 Includes a butter spreader that rests in a notch inside the box  Do not soak the piece in water for prolonged periods Wash with a soft sponge and mild dish soa
