Kenyan Soapstone Square Soap Dish 'Marbled Pink'

A square soapstone incense holder in marbled pink, with raised edges to catch falling ash. Fit an incense stick into the centre hole and let the ash collect neatly below — equally happy doing duty as a small soap dish.

Soapstone is a tactile, marble-like stone, and being a natural material, every piece varies slightly in colour and pattern — pink can arrive in a rosy or peachy tone. Ours are polished and finished with natural beeswax.

Who made your soapstone carving?

Hand carved by the Tabaka Youth Self Help Group, a collective of soapstone artisans based in Tabaka, South West Kenya, founded in 1996 and led today by Bonnie. The group carves each piece from soapstone quarried locally, continuing a craft the region has been known for over generations.

Care

Handle with care and wash by hand — soapstone isn't suitable for the dishwasher.
