| In America during the years that EAPG was made, butter was actually... real butter. And many who lived outside of cities made their own . Making butter took a lot of energy, but not much equipment or brains. Just let fresh milk go sour, skim off the cream and beat it or swing it around or churn it till the yellow fat separated out from the buttermilk & stuck together in chunks. It was enough of a chore that, once it was made, the everyday housewife was happy to have a pretty dish to set it in. It didn't form in 'sticks', but in hunks, so early butter dishes were mostly round and after about 1880, they had big domed lids so it didn't get all messy. They are GENERALLY about 5" across the opening with a lid covering it - and the bases can be flat or on a low pedestal. EAPG Cheese dishes were larger - sometimes a lot larger - See some HERE. |

ACTRESS aka (original manufacturer's name, Opera) aka Theatrical aka Annie is an intriguing pattern by Adams & Co. 1880 - 1885.

There is some frosting in the bottom of the base. The lid has a nic on the tippy top of the finial seen HERE. & there is tiny nic on the base seen HERE & a 'fleabite' on the flange of the lid seen HERE.
