This lattice soap dish is carved from natural soapstone in India. Soapstone is a soft, dense rock that is comfortable to work by hand yet remarkably durable in everyday use — it does not soak up water or odours, and it cleans easily with a quick rinse.
Practical drainage
The lattice openings let water drip away from the bar between uses, so the soap dries out properly and lasts noticeably longer. A wet bar soap on a flat surface softens and disappears within days; on a good lattice dish it can last weeks longer.
Material and feel
Soapstone has a smooth, slightly silky surface and a calm, muted colour that ranges between greys and deep greens. Each piece is hand-carved, so subtle variations in tone and grain make every dish a little unique. The oval shape gives a classic look that fits comfortably alongside ceramic, glass or timber bathroom accessories.
How to use
Place the bar of soap on the lattice surface after each use. Rinse the dish under warm running water every few days, or whenever a build-up appears. For a deeper clean, a soft cloth and a little washing-up liquid will restore the original look in seconds.
