The butter dish is pretty and has a good size, many have indeed a strange elongated shape where a normal butter cubes bad reinpasst. But the color is not in the photo, it is olive green and so is unfortunately not even half as loud from. On top of the lid is not dyed, but clearly, I find but quite nice. Get the can keep anyway because I simply a need and there but is still only a butter dish. In the shop I had the color but not selected.
