Polish Pottery Soap Dish - Blue Peacock Eye

This Polish pottery soap dish holds a bar of soap by the sink or bath, with a ridged base that lets water drain off so the bar dries between uses. It's hand-decorated in the classic blue peacock-eye pattern that Bolesławiec ceramics are known for.

Ceramic craft in Bolesławiec goes back to the medieval period, but it flourished in the 18th century with a new method of stamping intricate patterns over a white base. The style made Bolesławiec pottery sought after across Europe, even in royal courts. Today the maker produces hundreds of forms and thousands of patterns, each piece hand-decorated with the traditional stamp method using eco-glaze and cadmium- and lead-free paints.
