Roof Tile Soap Dish

Handmade ceramic roof tiles were the building blocks of Chinese society. Since ancient times, homes, government buildings, and temples in cities and rural areas alike were topped with graduated layering of this distinctive and practical putty-colored tile. Shortened to fit on the edge of a kitchen or bathroom sink, these soap dishes cut from 19th century roof tiles are an elegant way to add a bit of storied history to the home.
