A clean, minimal soap dish carved from a single piece of black soapstone. The oval shape and plain surface keep it understated, so it works just as well beside a kitchen sink as it does in a bathroom done up in stone, brass or wood. Hand-cut and polished by Indian artisans, it is a simple swap for the plastic dishes that stain and crack within a season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it have drainage holes?

No, this is the plain flat-profile design, so water collects and evaporates rather than draining away. Tipping out the water and wiping it dry every couple of days keeps the soap firm and the dish clean.

Will a regular Indian soap bar fit?

Yes. At 13.97 x 10.16 cm it takes standard 100-125 g bath bars comfortably, with room to spare around the edges.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Dust it regularly with a soft dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a lightly damp cloth and dry immediately, and keep harsh chemicals, bleach and steel scrubbers away from the stone.

Will constant water contact spoil the stone?

Soapstone is dense and not very porous, so regular bathroom use does not harm it. Just avoid letting hard water dry on the surface repeatedly, as mineral marks can dull the polish over time.

Is each piece identical to the one shown in the images?

The design, size and finish stay the same, but natural stone carries its own grain and colour tone. Minor variation in shade, veining and carving detail is expected in hand-carved soapstone and makes each piece unique.

Handcrafted in India from natural soapstone. As every piece is carved and polished by hand, slight variations in shade, veining and carving detail are natural and make your piece one of a kind.
