Review on Trudeau 09607080A Porcelain Butter Boat by Chris Quinto

I just bought 5 of this item as a Christmas present. I've had an oil boat on my kitchen counter for over 15 years, when I saw her on QVC a long time ago. It's so wonderful to have softened butter on demand. No more torn toast, pancakes, etc. I've found I use a lot less butter when it's easy to spread rather than from the fridge when it puts clumps on food. Even in the summer when the house is warm, I've never experienced rancid butter. I'm looking for unusual gifts for family and friends and this is one of them. I have previously bought 8 similar items from Revain and gifted them to our older children and some family members who after an initial stunned and confused look called me to tell me how good the item is. As Christmas approaches this year I had to trade something interesting with my cousins as we keep the price to a minimum. The oil boat is spot on. This is a gift that passes on!
