Tranquillo fair trade soap dish made of handmade ceramic

Sometimes it’s the little things that suddenly make a bathroom or kitchen feel much nicer. Such a beautiful handmade soap dish from Tranquillo is a perfect example of this. Practical, colorful, and simply much more cheerful than that boring plastic tray where your soap ends up sitting in a soggy mess. This is one of those small items where you think: why didn't I have this sooner?

Highlights

This zero waste soap dish is made of 100% fair trade and handmade ceramic and has a convenient size of 13 x 10 x 4 cm. The dish is oval in shape and has holes in the bottom, allowing excess water to drain away neatly. As a result, your soap stays less wet, is less likely to stick, and often lasts longer. And honestly: it’s just a joy to look at.

The dishes are available in multiple variations, all with their own colorful floral prints and hand-painted appearance. That makes each piece just a little bit different and extra special.

Why you want this

What I love about this is that it’s not just pretty, but truly practical. A good soap dish makes a big difference if you like using solid soap or shampoo bars. Without a good dish, such a bar often stays in a pool of water, which just makes it mushy. With this ceramic version, you’re literally giving your soap a better life.

And yes, even if you just love having a beautiful bathroom or kitchen, this is a winner. Because let’s be honest: if something is functional and looks good, it always beats a boring solution.

Use & styling

This dish is, of course, perfect for all your soaps, but you can also easily store other small items in it. Think of a ring, earrings, hair clips, or other small treasures that would otherwise just be lying around.

How do you use it?

1. In the bathroom for a solid bar of soap or shampoo bar.
2. In the kitchen for a hand soap by the sink.
3. On your nightstand or dresser for jewelry or small trinkets.

What I often hear in the shop...
“It’s actually way too cute to only use for soap.” And honestly, they have a point.

Material & care

This dish is made of handmade ceramic. That gives it its beautiful artisanal look and ensures that every piece has its own unique character. That’s exactly what makes this so much more fun than a standard mass-produced item.

If you want to keep the dish looking nice, rinse it clean occasionally so that soap residue doesn't build up. Wipe it dry or let it air dry, and it’s ready for use again.

Sustainable & fair

What good does this piece do for the world? This soap dish is 100% fair trade and handmade. That fits perfectly with a conscious household where you prefer to choose beautiful, honest items that last a long time. And if you use solid soap instead of plastic bottles, then a good soap dish is actually indispensable.

We are enthusiastic about Tranquillo anyway. The brand has been making fair and sustainable products with lots of color and character for over 20 years. They work with short supply chains, transparent production processes, and natural materials. No colorless sustainable stuff here, but rather products that show that conscious living can also be cheerful and beautiful.
