This premium stoneware Butter Bell is handcrafted by a small team in their workshop set in a meadow east of Echo Lake outside of Bigfork Montana by highly skilled artisans who have been working their craft for many years using only the highest quality glazes and durable material. They make the embellishments from porcelain and carefully affix them to the main body of the item. Sometimes these beautiful and functional accessories are made with handles on the main body, and sometimes they are not. Wildflower Confections has no say or control over which option we receive, and that's okay with us.
