My ceramic soap dishes are handmade and cast in small batches so each batch will be slightly different in texture. These are the perfect addition to a gift box with your choice of soaps. The pictures in the listing are only an example and variations may occur due to the nature of the material. Our items are NOT painted. The color is the color of the clay and is glazed with a dishwasher safe sealant. I would not recommend putting in the dishwasher, I recommend hand washing in the sink to minimize wear. Although I try my best to make them perfect , Small irregularities on the surface are to be expected and are considered part of the natural beauty.
