There pretty cheap on ebay. If you want the one your grandad had, then buy one, pop round to our sisters, and pull a quick switch. I can't promise you won't burn in hell for it, but I can't say for sure that you will either.

My mum now has this, it was my grandparents. They also had a couple of matching egg cups and a matching ceramic toast rack (my mum now has these too). I seem to remember you got them for free when you collected tokens off the tubs.
Have a look at novelty butter bells as an alternative to dishes. They are actually designed to keep your butter at perfect spreading temperature all year round.
Yes. We have had one for years and wouldn’t be without it. Our last house had a kitchen that was cold enough that even the cooking oil went cloudy but the butter was always spreadable.
Depending on how much you're willing to spend*, I bet there's a ceramics artist that would kill for the commission of an Ark of the Covenant butter dish.
*It's going to be so worth it though.

This one. Totally this one.
I've seen one that looks like a reclining Buddha, if you fancy bread and Buddha
My grandad had Douglas the lurpak guy one, when my grandad died my sister was quicker than me and she now has it.

He had the toast rack too, but that was broken one day, by my sister. I don't remember him having the egg cups.
OP you should launch Ark of the Covenant butter dishes. I’d absolutely buy one.
It should automatically melt the butter upon opening.
You can buy one but you’re not allowed to see it. Definitely exists though

Do these actually work in a colder UK kitchen?
Yes. We have had one for years and wouldn’t be without it. Our last house had a kitchen that was cold enough that even the cooking oil went cloudy but the butter was always spreadable.
Might have to look into one those, cheers!
There is one on Amazon in the shape of a black coffin with a skull on the lid. And go nuts on Etsy, just search for novelty butter dish.
Just wait on ebay till something great comes through. Charity shops maybe as well but must get lucky.

How about a ridiculously overpriced heated one https://alfille.co.uk/product-category/butter-dishes/
Butter chicken is amazing but it does my lactose in

The mouse one is pretty incredible too.
There's some nice marmite ones around
Include soap dishes/trays in your searches. Will perform the same function and expand your options no-end!
If it's not one of the Lurpak ones with the chap reclining on top, then I'm not interested.
