Arthur Court Grape Covered Butter Dish

This magnificent butter dish is a classy accent to any formal table setting and a lovely accessory with which to highlight other pieces in the Arthur Court grape serveware collection. The dish's brilliant luster captures the elegance of antique silver but is actually made of hand-polished aluminum, which is much easier for today's busy hostesses to maintain. The design features bunches of grapes with leaves in bas-relief on either end of the dish and the lid. Intricately crafted vines wind their way along the sides of the dish and form a handle on top of the lid. This aluminum serveware is not dishwasher-safe but cleans easily with mild soap and water. This set makes a wonderful shower gift for the bride who has registered for other pieces in the grape collection. As Arthur and Elena Court, owners of Arthur Court Designs, are avid conservationists, a percentage of all proceeds of their products go directly to wildlife preservation and environmental research and education projects. --Cristina Vaamonde
