Solid, simple and quietly handsome, this rounded soap dish is carved from natural honey marble, its warm amber tones making an everyday bar of soap look rather special. It comes from giftware maker Ancient Wisdom and is handmade in Indonesia.

The smooth, gently dished centre shows off the natural veining of the stone, while drainage holes in the base let water escape, so soap dries out between uses and lasts longer. Being real marble, every dish differs slightly in colour and pattern, which is part of the charm. It has a reassuring weight of around 450g, so it stays put by the basin or bath. Rinse it occasionally to keep it fresh. Paired with a handmade soap bar, it makes a lovely natural bathroom gift.
