This is the Best Butter Dish ever invented, imo! It snaps down and locks the lid into the base... preventing my crazy cats from jumping up on the counter and getting in to my butter. Seriously. Brilliantly designed! Highly recommend this Seller's eBay Store! Of course, the butter dish arrived Brand New, as described! Excellent Quality for the Value. And I too, get peace of mind, knowing my silly cats haven't been in my butter, which I leave out at room temp, always. Thank you 😊 Happy Customer!
