This is a Belleek butter dish in cottage form from Ireland. The front and back of the cottage look a little different due to the placement of the handle. It has a gold 7th mark (4/1/1980 - 12/22/1992). The bottom plate is 6.5 x 5 inches and has ridges on it to hold the butter in place. The top is 4 inches tall at the handle, 3.75 inches wide, and about 5.5 inches long measuring from the curve in the handle. In mint condition.
