This hand made stoneware soap dish has six drainage holes to keep soap nice and firm, and its stylish minimalist design makes it a beautiful bathroom essential.
Why we love it
The stoneware is handmade near Bhaktapur, Nepal by a family business run by two brothers, Santa and Laxmi. The production is organised by a World Fair Trade Organisation certified collective in Kathmandu. The artisans benefit from numerous initiatives, including allowances for family medical care and children's education, and a savings scheme. The organisation is active in reducing its environmental impact and has moved to electric firing for ceramics and away from kerosene-based firing.
This piece has been skilfully produced from a mix of local Nepalese clay. Any hand-carved details are added before each piece is dried in the sun, glazed and fired at high temperatures in large kilns. To maximise efficiency not an inch of space is wasted in the kilns, which run for days at a time to maintain the heat. The high firing temperature makes this stoneware ceramic dishwasher and microwave safe, and surprisingly chip resistant.
Available in four colour glazes sourced from North India.
Approximately 9cm wide x 11cm long x 2cm high.
Glazed stoneware.

GreenTulip is like shopping at your local independent shop on the high street. I like the choice of gift ideas and the pick of natural products.
I found the present I was looking for, which was quite exclusive and hard to find from Ampersand Fragrances that it's only stocked in specific shops. Delivery was really quick too. I would definitely recommend!
Very pleased with my table mats and coasters.
Excellent quality and fast delivery.
Just what I was looking for.
I just stumbled across green tulip by accident, but ended up buying loads of stuff and definitely plan to come back for more! Such a great selection with really reasonable prices.
