I bought 2 of these butter dishes based off the measurements provided in the description. I'm not sure who measured the container but they are not 13.5 cm x 9.7cm x 10cm. The actual dimensions of the inside of the dish where you would put a block of butter without having to chop it up is 11.6cm x 7cm x 8cm. Even if you are not measuring the inside of the container, the measurements are still incorrect and not as stated. If you are looking for a container to put your pound of butter without chopping it up, then this is not the container to buy.
