Can you tell me how wide the actual part of the dish that the butter sits on is?

3.5" at the widest part (middle) and 3" at the ends. Wider than a standard butter dish.

Hi. I don't know what 'European style' butter is but I can give this description of the dish. It is considered oversized in that the plate part is wider than most you'd find. The lid bows out slightly on the sides so it is a bit wider. It clears a quarter stick by far but is NOT tall or wide enough to fit a whole pound of butter. It is best suited for only a quarter pound stick and being oversized is really just for being decorative and sturdy. Hope that helps!

Butter dishes are made to fit 1/4 lb. of butter. This butter dish is too heavy.

I have no idea, when I bought this there was just one size, and it was the only butter dish that would fit the Irish Gold grass fed butter bars, since they are so wide.

The butter dish is 7 3/4" long X 4"w x 2 3/4"h with the cover in place. It nicely holds a stick of butter (1/4 lb). I like the weight of the dish because it tends to keep the butter cooler even if not refrigerated.

The flat interior of the lid (with cow design) measures 5 inches and the flat interior of the deep dish measures 4-1/2 inches. Both measure 2-3/8 inch wide. These measurements are for the flat surface before each starts a very gradual slope towards the outside edge. I think your butter will fit, with going up the sides a little bit; of course, your decision.

Since a stick of butter in our region of the country measures 4 3/4" by 1 1/4", this attractive, sturdy, pretty butter dish adequately holds the butter with room to use a knife to cut off what you need. The bottom is 7" by 2 15/16", covered by a top at 6 5/8" by 2 1/2". The lower lip of the bottom keeps melted butter from spilling off of it on a warm summer day. A wonderful dish!

I love this butter dish, but I think that it holds 1/2 pound of butter successfully. If you tried to put a pound in the dish it would probably fit the bottom part of the dish but the problem would be putting the lid on without making a mess!!

The dimensions are: Outside 8 1/4" X 4" and Inside 6" X 3". I find that I can put 1 1/2 cubes of butter inside, end to end. Hope this helps you decide.

No it fits a quarter LB of butter only. It is a very lovely butter dish however.

6.25 inch long x 3.5 in wide by 2.5 in high. The bottom of the dish is wider than the top enclosure part and these measurements reflect that

sorry this took so long, my daughter liked it so much she "borrowed" it. the bottom dish where you place your butter is7-1/4" in length and it's 4-3/4" across. The lid of course is a bit smaller 3" across and 5-3/4" long. with the lid on it's about 2-1/2" high. this butter dish holds one stick of butter......I hope this helps.

On second thought you should look for a Polish Pottery butter dish, much wider.

It is 8 inches by 11 3/4 inches and about a half inch thick. It works just like the one that came with the dish.

It holds the rectangle european butter - the sticks might be too long for this dish!
