MusK soap dish, Reindeer

A reindeer with antlers and a bright red nose — straight out of a Christmas fairy tale. Hand-painted on cream ceramic, it brings festive cheer even to a place Christmas does not usually reach: the bathroom. Hidden in the reindeer's body is a heart that makes this Christmas ceramic soap dish more than just a decoration.

That heart is a clever water drain, so the soap on it does not go soggy and lasts longer. Raised feet add airflow, so the soap dries out properly between washes. A festive piece that makes a lovely gift or a little Christmas surprise under the tree.

Give the dish a dry spot a little away from the water, and after the festive season feel free to leave it in the bathroom all year — it lifts the mood in summer too. The glazed surface cleans with a single wipe, and the hand painting makes every piece an original. It measures 10.5 × 7.5 cm. And ceramic lasts considerably longer than the festive mood.

The reindeer is there to hold one of our Christmas soaps — St Nicholas, for example — or another handmade soap from our workshop.
