A replacement

And also an early anniversary present. Back story is here. I've looked online for a replacement occasionally over the last couple of years as has Kent with no luck until this week.

Behold the new butter dish:

The original one was turquoise, and we really liked that color a lot. But I also really like this color for two reasons. First, this color was only made between 1951 and 1959 which is also when Kent's mother got her dishes (toward the end of the decade after she got married). And second, we have the teapot, sugar dish and creamer in the same color. I am beyond happy we were able to replace this--and yes, it's most definitely housed back against the wall to keep it safe from Wally's pushy paws.
