This eco friendly ceramic soap dish was inspired by swimming in the ocean on a hot day in a beautiful place. My glaze experiments included working with recycled glass, and many of the pieces I have made with recycled materials are also inspired by the earth and the beauty of nature. If you're giving one of these as a birthday gift or a Christmas gift we can include a gift tag free of charge - just send a message via folksy messages when you order!

Full description
These soap dishes make great gifts, and they're eco friendly too. The combination of the gorgeous blue glaze and the melted glass in the bottom of this bowl reminds me of swimming in clear blue water on a hot day.
It is glazed with my own special combination of ingredients to create this delicious, deep, tropical ocean colour. I recycled some glass from an empty bottle in the bottom of the pot and this has melted in the kiln and blended with the glaze to give a stunning crystalline watery effect. The glass forms a perfectly smooth surface to the bottom of the bowl, but beneath the surface it cracks and fragments. These cracks catch the light and sparkle like jewels.
It would make the perfect candle holder, it's great as a soap dish, or you could use it to keep rings and jewelry safe. I keep mine on my bathroom windowsill so that the crackles under the surface catch the sunlight and glisten.
It's delicate shape was given strength by my use of very strong, textured, creamy white clay, which I fired to stoneware temperature. I didn't glaze the outside, and added a little subtle fabric texture because I wanted the natural beauty of the clay to shine through and create contrast.
This piece measures approx 5 x 5.5 x (height)1 inches
(12.5 x 14 x 4cm)
Please note, it is not intended for food or dishwasher use.
I made a few of these and each is unique. Please allow for very slight variation, but I promise yours will be very similar and equally stylish!
