With election season right upon us, the Capitol Butter Dish is a lighthearted political joke and a reminder to exercise your right to vote.

Referencing the token building souvenirs you might find when visiting DC, but made with the attentive hand of a craftsman, the piece takes a stately presence on your table while serving the lowly job of butter dish. And, the front lawn performs dual service as a knife rest. It's cast in high-fire porcelain for strength and is dishwasher safe.

Next time someone brings up the guns vs butter debate over coffee, we hope you'll answer "butter," at least long enough for toast.
