“This was butter perfect!”

I love how their made. I will be using the set with Irish Butter (my favorite) to smooth on crackers, French bread, bagels, biscuits, pancakes (without syrup) oh just any type of bread!!! And we all love bread. I Thank you so much. And would like to add that the packaging gift wrap of my gift to me was so beautiful.
