What customers say
This soap dish earns praise primarily for its exquisite, sculptural design, transforming a functional item into a luxurious decorative accent. Customers frequently call it a work of art, highlighting the intricate detailing of the ginkgo and butterfly motifs. The substantial weight and premium materials confirm its high perceived quality, aligning with the brand's luxury promise. While its beauty makes it an excellent gift, the high cost tempers the value assessment relative to its basic function. Minor cleaning difficulties around the detailed edges are noted, but appreciation for its aesthetic impact overwhelmingly dominates the feedback. It successfully elevates bathroom decor.
Know before you buy
Because this piece is handcrafted from stainless steel and brass, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then drying immediately to preserve the finish.
No, this dish features a solid base. It is designed primarily as a decorative accent piece, so you may want to use a soap that drains well or wipe the dish occasionally to prevent water buildup.
The natural and oxidized brass will develop a unique patina as it interacts with the environment. This is a characteristic of the material and adds to the artistic, evolving nature of the piece.
Yes, it is designed for countertop use. However, please note that it does not have an anti-slip base, so it is best placed on a flat, level surface.
Each Michael Aram piece is handcrafted, meaning there are subtle variations in the texture and metalwork. These intentional differences ensure that your specific dish is a one-of-a-kind work of art.
