Transmutation: The act of changing from one form, nature, substance, or state into another; transform: Alchemists tried to transmute lead into gold 

I transform mud (clay):

And ground minerals in solution (glaze):

Into stoneware with a glass coating- glazed pottery:

Before the age of refrigeration, butter was often kept in earthenware pots, often submerged in water. With this method of storage, butter was kept fresh for weeks.

My crocks hold a ½ cup stick of butter. Pack softened butter into the upper cup, then put a ½ inch of water into the base. The lid is placed back into the base. The water creates an airtight seal that preserves the freshness of the butter while stored at room temperature. Replace the water every couple of days to ensure the butter stays fresh. A pinch of salt in the water will further retard spoilage. Crocks keep butter fresh at room temperature (up to about 80° F)* on the counter for up to a month without spoiling.  

Last photo is of a similar item in use.

*In hotter weather (85° and up) the butter may slip out.

My stoneware is all handcrafted, either thrown on a wheel or handbuilt. It is fired to 2200 degrees which makes it dishwasher, microwave and oven safe. It is durable and built to last.
Please enjoy using your pottery every day!

Thank you! -June
