I absolutely love finding unique treasures to accessorize my kitchen. After all, why go with the cookie cutter big box container, or cutting board, or bowl, when you can support the artisanal community. And thanks to Etsy, it’s now so easy to connect with artists all over the world and purchase their wares. Here are a few handmade kitchen favorites that I’ve stumbled across on the site in recent months.
French Ceramic Butter Keeper
Why go with a basic butter dish for your counter. Dive in for a bit of old world french charm with this ceramic butter keeper. It’ll keep your butter soft and spreadable and looks great when placed out on the table for a breakfast spread. These are made by Jonathan Sawyer in San Diego, California and sell for $35. He also makes matching salt cellars, ramekins and sponge holders if you want more of a set.

Now, I know some might have a distain to using sponges due to germs and the like, however I do like the toss away sponges you can get at Trader Joe’s and use them all them time (I toss them after a few days and grab a new one). In between it’s important to allow your sponge to dry completely to avoid making them an ideal germ collecting surface and this ceramic sponge holder is perfect for that! Made by Anderson Pottery in Santa Rosa, California for $14.

I love a great casserole dish, growing up in Minnesota the “Hot Dish” was all the rave and whipped up at least twice a week. With a charming dish like this, who wouldn’t want to serve them up more often! Made by Bungalow Studio Pottery Company in Saint Louis, Missouri for $45.

The utensil holder is one of those items that’s typically always on the counter, in a distinct placement next to the stove, so it’s important for this item to have style and beauty and this piece of pottery delivers. It is partially dipped in a black matte glaze that gives it a modern almost nordic design flare. Made by Yaara Landau-Katz in HaZore‘im, Israel for $45.
