 Whale butter dish How do you store your butter – in the fridge in its wrapper/tub, or in a butter dish?
If you’re a fan of the good old butter dish and are seeking an unusual contemporary storage option, then you can’t beat the whale design dish by Jonathan Adler.
The dish is made from white fired stoneware, with a matt white glaze, and it’s part of the playful collection of ceramic animals.
It’s a quirky design and unusual to find a whale used in this way, although we think it could be a bit too nice to use for butter.
Whether you’d put it into practical use, or simply put it out on display, the wonderful whale butter dish is available to buy from Amara.

The smile bowl is £24.95.

 Lion sugar bowl and unicorn creamer For quirky products that you’ll love using, you can’t beat designs by Takae Mizutani.
As a designer, Takae has a great way of looking at the world through the eyes of a child and this can certainly be seen in her unique designs.
In the case of this sugar bowl and creamer set, the sugar bowl is designed in the shape of a lion and the creamer is in the form of a unicorn. Both animal motifs feature on the British coat of arms, so it’s only right that they’re on products celebrating the great British tea drinking habit!
The set of two Tea Rules the World pieces are made in Cornwall from earthenware clay, cost £44 and come in a gift box, so would make a great present. The only choice you have to make is whether to opt for white or natural finish.

The close up photo of this wall art looks like dainty biscuits on a baking tray, but they’re actually porcelain buttons and not the slightest bit edible at all!
Created by Lauren Denney, this unusual piece of wall art looks effective in its monotone colours and features 24 handmade white porcelain buttons on a black background. The picture comes framed and ready to be hung on a wall.
You can buy the porcelain button wall art picture from Lauren Denney’s store; whilst there, it’s worth checking out her other handmade ceramic homeware creations too.
