OOI, have you ever seen or used a cooler box that works by the

When I was young and domestic fridges were the exception
rather than the rule, my mum had a butter cooler which worked
on that principle.

It was an unglazed porcelain urn with matching lid which was
half filled with water and a glass container that fitted in
the top to hold the butter.

I'm quite sure that larger versions were made as it was a
simple but effective way of achieving the objective.
