I am pleased to offer a very hard to find Botanic Garden square butter dish featuring the Cyclamen on the top, Forget-Me-Not on the side and Daisy on the bottom tray.

This butter dish set is meant to hold a block of butter larger than the typical 1/4 pound block. This item has been retired for many years now and is difficult to find. This butter dish set is new and perfect with the UPC code attached on the bottom.


The Ivy Leaved Cyclamen or Cyclamen Repandum flower on the lid was an original oatmeal bowl motif, introduced in 1972, moved to a B & B plate in 1985, and still remains in production today. There are two different insect and flower versions. The oldest has four flower heads and the newer has nine heads. It was based on an image in an 1840 book,La Flore des Dames by A. Jacquemart.

The Forget-Me-Not or Myosotis Palustris flower around the sides is an original 1972 coffee cup motif and remains in production today. It was based on an illustration by William Clarke in Mrs. Hey's botany book,Moral of Flowers.

---> Lid <---

The Daisy or Bellis Perennis on the tray was an original 1972 flower on bread and butter plates and still remains in production today. It is based on an image found in the 1835 botany book with illustrations by William Clarke,Moral of Flowers, and written by Mrs. Hey.
