Description
This rectangular ceramic soap dish brings a little old-fashioned shop charm to the side of the basin. It is finished in a glossy white glaze with a teal rim running all the way round the edge, and the centre carries a vintage-style label: 'Since 1891' and 'Finest Quality' in small blue capitals, a large 'SOAP' in soft teal, and 'Natural & Organic' beneath in blue. It measures 13.3cm long, 9.2cm wide and 2.1cm high, a comfortable size for an everyday bar of soap, with gently raised sides that cradle the bar.
It sits happily beside a bathroom basin, on the edge of a bath or on a cloakroom windowsill, and it is just as at home next to a kitchen sink with a bar of hand soap. The classic lettering suits a vintage or farmhouse bathroom, a traditional white suite or a scheme of whites and blues, and the teal rim picks up towels and accessories in similar shades. At just 2.1cm high it keeps a low profile on a narrow ledge, and at 0.183KG it is light enough to lift and rinse in one hand. We think it makes a thoughtful little present for anyone putting together a bathroom they love, or for a friend who enjoys a touch of nostalgia around the home.
Made from ceramic with a smooth, glossy glaze, the dish is simple in form, and the lettering sits in the centre, framed by the teal rim. As general good practice, rinse away soap residue, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft towel to keep the glaze bright. Like any ceramic, it can chip if knocked against hard tiles, so set it down gently. For a simple, tidy basin, pair it with a glass soap dispenser and a stack of white flannels, or wrap it with a bar of soap for a gift that is ready to use.
