Set a refined and elegant table with this silver plated lidded rectangular butter dish in the Malmaison pattern. The glass section, which holds the butter, is easily removed for cleaning. One of Christofle's most historic patterns, Malmaison typifies the Empire style, with its frieze of delicate palm and lotus leaves and symmetrical design. The name is a nod to the Chateau de la Malmaison, a favored Parisian residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine.
