Butter pats were always used in the formal table settings of well-to-do Victorians, as well as on the tables of royalty. First made in the mid-1800s, they reached the height of popularity between 1880 and 1910, and were made by some of the most elite porcelain houses in the world. Today, very few companies make them, and they are some of the most sought-after dinner service items on the market.
