This is an AUTHENTIC MACKENZIE CHILDS COURTLY CHECK BUTTER BOX. LOVELY Courtly Check pattern done in the classic checkered design adorns this piece! This was purchased from directly from Mackenzie-Childs. This is currently sold out on Mackenzie Childs. CLASSIC and WONDERFUL addition to any table!! This piece was inspired by the dairy farming in Aurora, NY. Hand-painted and crowned with a carved knob. Perfect and lovely addition to mix with other MC patterns.

Comes from a non-smoking home. Hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. This is pre-owned and used a couple of times. There is a slight chip on the underside rim of the enamel...see picture.
