Review of Mikasa Italian Countryside Covered Butter Dish

It is a beautiful butter dish but the inside rim of the lid is not covered in the clear enamel gloss, meaning that if the lid touches the butter, it soaks into the exposed ceramic and leaves a grease stain.I bought mine at a Mikasa outlet store and was able to exchange it for a new one.I haven't used the new one yet because I am waiting until I can find some sort of ceramic sealant so this doesn't happen again!

Product Description
The ultimate in versatility and classic appeal, a white-on-white design allows you to transition gracefully from casual to more formal occasions. A simple change of glassware, linens or the addition of colorful accent pieces creates an entirely different look with a minimum of expense and fuss. This pattern features a fluted band and a scrolling border, at home just about anywhere.
