Butter could wear a cow or a flower
Butter stamps pressed designs into warm blocks of butter. Often made of wood, they featured cows, flowers or geometric patterns. Some were decorative household tools; commercial versions could also show the retailer’s name.
Even the butter could arrive dressed for the table.
