Heyu Soap・Hand-Molded Ceramic Soap Dish・Clay・Natural Drainage・Handcrafted Lifestyle Ware

❍ About This Piece From the washbasin to the work desk, we wanted to create a soap dish that is both truly functional and aesthetically pleasing. Through our own use, we gradually explored and refined the design, opting for a simple shape with a touch of ingenuity. It's perfectly sized to hold a bar of soap and just right for allowing water to drain away. Not flashy, but genuinely practical. We chose clay, a type of earth with slightly coarse particles. While the resulting pieces aren't as delicate as porcelain, they possess a natural simplicity and honesty that you can feel and see. The surface may feature some specks of color, pinholes, or small glaze cracks – these are not flaws, but rather inherent characteristics formed naturally. ❍ Material Clay, Glaze ❍ Dimensions The soap dish is specifically designed for handmade soaps, measuring approximately 8 × 6 × 2.5 cm. Its size is just right, providing a stable place for your soap and making it convenient to use. (Each piece is handmade, so dimensions may vary slightly.) ❍ Craftsmanship Notes Each piece is fired at high temperatures twice, ensuring durability. Occasional pinholes, natural glaze variations, or fine crack lines on the surface are characteristics naturally formed by the clay material and the firing process. As these are handcrafted items, the curvature and glaze distribution of each piece will vary slightly, contributing to its unique character. ❍ Packaging & Sustainability All our shipments are packaged using recycled bubble wrap and cardboard boxes. While it may not be exquisitely presented, for us, giving every resource a second life is the better choice. | About Handmade | Each piece is shaped and glazed by hand. The glaze flows naturally, and the lines are distinct. Minor crackles that occur during firing do not affect usability; please rest assured.
