Butter Dishes
James W. Tufts of Boston 3-piece domed butter dish, 1889
It was the year 1900.
Around the turn of the century, master butter makers were making a change that would impact the lives of virtually all Americans. Butter was churned in the local dairy and turned into barrels. The scooped and rounded butter was served in Victorian homes in domed butter dishes, the butter resting on a plate with an ice layer beneath. Around 1900, dairies began to produce butter in sticks. It was a slow transition process, but by 1920, stick butter was in ice boxes and new-fangled refrigerators, and on tables in rectangular-shaped butter dishes.
