A couple of years back, we had culminated our genealogy research with a first-ever family reunion on my husbands side of the family. He met cousins he never knew he had. One cousin lives very near and kindly shared a few items that were in the family for a long time. This Dazey Butter Churn was caked with years of dirt when we found it in his basement. I brought it home and scrubbed it up. This is how it looks now.
Dazey Butter Churn
The glass is embossed in a horseshoe pattern DAZEY CHURN AND MFG. COMPANY in an arch and ST. LOUIS, MO. along the base of the arch
I found the following information online:
The Dazey Churn & Manufacturing Company was one of the most prolific makers of butter churns and almost all of their churns are easily identified by the Dazey name embossed on the glass jars. In the early 1920’s Dazey claimed their factory was able to produce 2,000 butter churns a day. In 1915 Dazey claimed it had 250,000 butter churns in use, by 1923 they boasted of two million satisfied users and by 1936 the number increased to three million. That is a lot of churns and the company made churns for another two decades after that.
LOVE that!
What a wonderful piece of history….I hope you have it displayed in your home.
Very cool treasure. Sounds like that was a very successful company.
What an interesting and unique item.
Sigh…swoon…my heart is going pitter pat.
this is wonderful. My mom has one in her storage. What did you use to clean it?…soap, water and elbow grease?
I NEED one of those!! I've been looking for a used one but no luck yet. I'm not sure how goat cream would work churning into butter but I sure do want to try. I probably shouldn't be adding one more thing to my to do list though. 🙂 Someday…….
Color me green with envy…that is one super find. And your photos are wonderful…filled with love and warmth of family.
My Show n Tell is my finished, newest, watercolor painting…I do hope you can stop by to view it and give me some critique!! Click HERE
Have a great Friday.
This was interesting. I can remember grandmother always bought hand churned butter from a local farmer. It was so good.
Hi, I like the embossed horse shoe shape of the buttern churn, very nice. Thank you for visiting and leaving your kind comment on my "My "TWEET" Tablescape Thursday", it was so much fun designing this table. I'm really into birds this year and I love the yellow and blue in this tablescape.
Hugz,

I have one, too! It was my Grandmother's and I remember making butter in it! ( I remember milking the cows to get the cream for the butter, too!) What a great piece of family history from your family! Great family photo, too!
Be Blessed!
What a wonderful to have everyone gathered together and having fun. Thanks for sharing and have a nice weekend.
Wow, I have never seen a butter churn. This is quite amazing! What a beautiful and historical item to have on display in your home.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
What a treasure!!! Great job! Enjoy your weekend! Let's hope the sun comes out!
So charming! Thanks for sharing!
How wonderful that you received this churn. Do you display it in the kitchen or do you keep anything special in it? How nice to have been part of the family reunion after all these years.
I hope you will have a nice weekend.
