Soap Dish / Small Rectangular Tray 14 × 11 cm – Polish Pottery from Bolesławiec – Ceramika Artystyczna – for Bar Soap, Natural Soap, Shampoo Bars and Small Servings
This decorative soap dish made of Polish Pottery from Bolesławiec by Ceramika Artystyczna is much more than a practical place to keep a bar of soap.
With dimensions of approx. 14 × 11 cm, a height of approx. 3.5 cm, a weight of approx. 200 g and a capacity of approx. 150 ml when filled to the rim, its slightly deeper shape offers an unusually wide range of uses.
The dish has no drainage holes. This means liquids remain inside the dish instead of running onto the washbasin, shelf, furniture or kitchen worktop. This can be particularly practical with damp soap, small care products or when the dish is used as a decorative storage tray.
When used as a classic soap dish, excess water should be poured away regularly so that solid soap can dry as well as possible.
The slightly higher shape clearly distinguishes this piece from very flat soap dishes. It offers more space and a larger interior area, making it suitable not only for classic bar soap but also for larger natural soaps, shampoo bars, hair soaps, solid care products and other small bathroom accessories.
The most obvious use is for classic solid hand soap.
Olive oil soap.
Lavender soap.
Rose soap.
Herbal soap.
Honey soap.
Milk soap.
Vegetable oil soap.
Handmade natural soap.
A high quality soap presented on decorative Polish Pottery immediately looks more refined and thoughtfully arranged.
In the bathroom, even such a small detail can transform the atmosphere around the washbasin.
Natural soaps often have individual shapes and surfaces.
Some are rectangular.
Others are round.
Some are cut by hand and therefore slightly irregular.
With a size of approx. 14 × 11 cm, the dish offers plenty of room for many commercially available and handmade soap bars.
Organic soaps with natural colours and visible botanical ingredients look particularly beautiful with traditional Bolesławiec pottery.
Cream coloured oat soap.
Pale yellow calendula soap.
Lavender soap.
Rose soap.
Rustic herbal soap.
These soaps are not merely stored in the dish but become part of the decoration.
Thanks to its larger surface, the dish is also suitable for bigger soap bars that may not fit comfortably on smaller soap dishes.
A broad block of natural soap can also rest comfortably inside.
Solid shampoo bars need a dedicated place after use.
This dish is very suitable for that purpose.
Because it has no drainage holes, water can collect inside. It is therefore advisable to pour away excess liquid regularly and position the shampoo bar so that it can dry as well as possible.
Classic hair soap can also be stored in the dish.
Anyone using several solid care products can make use of the larger surface and, depending on size, place a small hair soap next to a hand soap.
Solid facial cleansers are also becoming increasingly popular.
The ceramic dish can provide them with a fixed and decorative place.
This helps create a tidy and intentionally arranged care area in the bathroom.
Other solid care products can also be placed in the dish.
Solid conditioner.
Solid body butter.
Massage bars.
Solid hand care.
Care bars.
This makes the dish particularly suitable for modern bathrooms where more and more solid care products are used.
The dish can look especially attractive in a guest bathroom.
A high quality natural soap.
A freshly folded guest towel.
A small flower.
A subtle candle.
Often, nothing more is needed to make a small washbasin area feel welcoming and cared for.
Traditional Polish Pottery from Bolesławiec adds an additional handcrafted and personal character.
In a family bathroom, the slightly larger dish can be practical when several people use different soaps.
Hand soap.
A small children's soap.
A shampoo bar.
Depending on their size, several smaller products can be stored together.
The dish is also highly versatile in the kitchen.
It can be used for classic solid hand soap.
It can also hold solid dishwashing soap.
Solid dish soap is used by rubbing a wet sponge or dish brush over the soap block.
After use, the soap can be placed back into the ceramic dish.
Because there are no drainage holes, soapy water remains inside instead of running directly onto the worktop. Collected liquid should be emptied regularly.
Traditional household soap or other solid cleaning soaps can also be stored inside.
Polish Pottery looks particularly attractive in traditionally styled, rustic or country kitchens.
The shape is also excellent for jewellery.
Rings.
Earrings.
Necklaces.
Bracelets.
Watches.
Cufflinks.
On a bedside table or dresser, it can therefore be used completely independently of the bathroom as a small jewellery dish.
Anyone who removes rings, a watch or bracelet while washing their hands can place the dish directly beside the washbasin.
The slightly raised rim gives small objects a more secure place than a completely flat surface.
Hair clips.
Hair ties.
Hair claws.
Small accessories that otherwise tend to lie around can be given a permanent place.
Smaller cosmetic products can also be kept in the dish.
Lip balm.
Small cream jars.
Perfume samples.
Nail polish.
Nail file.
Small care products.
The soap dish therefore becomes a practical little storage dish for everyday use.
The dish can also be used as a small fragrance bowl.
Dried lavender.
Rose petals.
Fragrance stones.
Potpourri.
Dried herbs.
It can therefore find a decorative place in the bathroom, guest toilet, hallway or bedroom.
Shells, small stones and other little keepsakes can also be arranged decoratively inside.
A maritime arrangement can look especially attractive in the bathroom.
In spring, small flowers or decorative eggs can be placed inside.
In summer, shells and pebbles.
In autumn, chestnuts, acorns or small pine cones.
At Christmas, small baubles, nuts or decorative stars.
The same dish can therefore be redesigned throughout the year.
A small candle or candle in a glass holder can also be placed inside if the dimensions and base are suitable and stable.
The slightly raised shape can act like a decorative frame around the candle.
A burning candle should of course never be left unattended.
The dish is not only interesting for the bathroom.
It can also be used as a small serving bowl.
Olives.
Nuts.
Pralines.
Sweets.
Small biscuits.
Chocolate.
Herb butter.
Dips.
Small antipasti.
With a capacity of approx. 150 ml to the rim, it is well suited to small portions.
A small portion of butter or herb butter can be served beautifully in the dish.
At breakfast, brunch or a barbecue, the decorative ceramic bowl can replace an ordinary butter dish.
A few olives, marinated peppers or other small antipasti can be served attractively inside.
On a Mediterranean style table, traditional Polish pottery can create an appealing contrast with international dishes.
Almonds.
Cashews.
Pistachios.
Other nuts and small snacks.
The dish is useful for an evening in front of the television, a gathering with friends or as a small addition to the table.
As a small sweet dish, it can hold pralines, pieces of chocolate or sweets.
This also makes it suitable for the coffee table or living room.
With a capacity of around 150 ml, the dish can also be used for small portions of jam, honey or other spreads.
This can look particularly decorative at breakfast or brunch.
Small amounts of dip can also be served in the dish.
Herb cream cheese.
Aioli.
Hummus.
Yoghurt dip.
Tomato dip.
Salsa.
When serving more liquid foods, the dish should of course stand securely and level.
The dish also offers numerous possibilities in restaurants, cafés, hotels and holiday accommodation.
In guest washrooms it can present high quality bar soap.
On a breakfast buffet it can hold small portions.
On a restaurant table it can serve as a small serving dish.
In a hotel room it can be used for jewellery or other small items.
In a wellness area it can hold solid care products.
Especially in establishments with traditional, regional, artisanal or individual interiors, small ceramic pieces like this can leave a memorable impression.
In restaurants, the dish can be used both in guest areas and on the table.
In washrooms for natural soap.
On the table for butter.
For olives.
For small dips.
For salt or spices.
For a small amuse bouche.
The versatile shape offers many possibilities.
In a café, the dish can be used for a small biscuit beside a cup, a piece of chocolate, a tea bag or sugar packets.
It can also serve as a high quality soap dish in the guest washroom.
In a hotel bathroom, a high quality natural soap presented on Polish Pottery from Bolesławiec can feel far more personal than a purely functional standard solution.
In the hotel room, the dish can also be used for keys, jewellery or other small items.
In holiday accommodation, it is often the small details that guests notice.

The combination of traditional pottery and handmade natural soap turns two practical everyday objects into a particularly attractive gift.
For beginners, a ready made plant based organic soap base is recommended.
It can be melted and customised without directly handling concentrated sodium hydroxide.
Essential oils, fragrances and cosmetic additives should always be used according to the safety instructions and dosage recommendations of the specific manufacturer.

The maximum amount always depends on the specific product and the manufacturer's instructions.
Anyone wishing to make traditional soap from oils and sodium hydroxide must calculate the exact lye quantity based on the oils used and their individual saponification values.
Sodium hydroxide is highly caustic and requires appropriate safety precautions.
For beginners, a ready made plant based soap base is therefore the considerably simpler option.
