From Juliska's Berry & Thread Collection - Butter never looked better than when ensconced within this charming dish - scalloped handles make passing it around the table a breeze, and a lid accented with a garland of thread and berries lends just the right touch of refinement. Portuguese stoneware ceramics echo the same artisanal production as Juliska glassware. They have developed a variety of exquisite transparent, opaque, and metallic glazes on a tough Portuguese stoneware body. All are lead free and each has the same tough durability to handle the most demanding everyday use.
