The butter dish with the model number “497B” by Hedwig Bollhagen is the larger version of the smaller 497A. Like its smaller counterpart, it was designed by Bauhaus ceramist Werner Burri. Its distinctive features include the flat, rectangular base—slightly raised at the edges—and the equally rectangular, bowl-shaped lid. Measuring six centimeters in height and twelve centimeters in width, the butter dish is twice as wide as it is tall. This embodies the Bauhaus principle “Form follows function.” Of course, you can also store liver sausage, cheese, or whatever else you like in the 497A, but one thing is certain: this classic is a must-have on any design lover’s breakfast table.
