I think your mystery piece is a butter bell. Thanks for hosting!
Blessings,

Thankyou so much for featuring my lollipop crate and for hosting xxx
Such lovely finds. That blue on the garlic dish is amazing. Great features too! Thank you so much for including my nautical bedroom reveal!
Another week, another bunch of great items! Thanks, once again!
Your mystery find is not a garlic dish, it’s a “butter bell.”
You fill the TOP half (the part with the small holes) with butter. Soften it just enough so that you can pack it in tightly, about two-thirds full. Then add water to the BOTTOM half to a depth that takes the water level to just ABOVE the level of the lip of the top half when it is inverted and put back into the bottom half. Turn the top half upside down and put it in the bottom half.
The water in the bottom “seals” the container so that no air can get in. You can then leave it on your kitchen table or counter top without refrigerating the butter. We have a butter bell and use it always. It’s lovely to have soft butter without having to buy the stuff that’s whipped up with air. The butter stays fresh for a long time without refrigeration. The only time we can’t use the butter bell is in the heat of summer when the room temperature makes the butter too soft to stay in the top when it’s turned upside down.

LOVE that plate…you find the prettiest china! Thanks for featuring my s&p shakers, and thanks to you and your commenters for teaching me what a butter bell is!
Thank you so much for featuring my yardstick photo display! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
Thank you for featuring my Valentine wreath! Have a great week end….hugs, Penny
Thanks for hosting another great party Andrea!! Happy Friday to you sweet friend, hope you have a wonderful weekend! xox Holly
Those finds of yours are AMAZING! I love to come here and get oh so inspired! <3
-Amberly!
I love the gorgeous plates you found! What loveliness for only 5 bucks! <3 And P.S. yours by far the most inspiring party for Amberlys.
Amazing as usual – that backgammon game is a find!!

What sweet treasures for $5!! I think the second piece might have been for storing butter. I have a new one that is similar, except it doesn’t have holes, so maybe garlic. Have a lovely weekend! xo Heather
Well, you learn something new every day – I had never heard of a butter bell or seen one. I will be looking now. Thank you for hosting and for the kind words and feature on my diary.
That Backgammon is so Retro! I like that you stick to a thrifting budget!
Thank you my dear sweet friend! You are so incredible and kind for the feature 🙂 I love the plate you found – the colours in it are amazing, and if you decide to mosaic it instead, I can only imagine how beautiful the creation will be. And Backgammon – I haven’t played that in years! Junkin Joe has a way of taking me back 😉
Big hugs to you!
xo
Sorry that my image didn’t go through correctly before. It’s fixed now!!! See # 21. 🙂
Thanks for featuring my coffee table! I LOVE seeing what everyone else is finding in their treasure hunts! I was just telling my husband that I wanted a new backgammon set – we’re so plugged into our electronic games now that I miss our old fashioned play time. xo!
