There are so many toilet soaps on the market these days with overpoweringly sweet smells that I usually buy something called Simple or Pure with no scent at all. Then somebody gave me a bar of Royal Jelly soap which has a faint hint of honey. Wonderful stuff.  Obviously this needed an equally lovely soapdish to put it in. And this is what I found. Apparently more than 120 years old, so I gave it a very good scrub :-). Makes you wonder how many hands have reached for this lid first thing in the morning. I love the old Victorian or Edwardian bathroom china sets. Next week we are going to Shakespeare country for a day and I am hoping to find a complete set with bowl, jug, tooth mug and yes, of course, another soap dish. Two great finds in the past week to display on FRIDAY FINDS day. |

It's very pretty!
It's a beautiful soap dish and so is the composition of your photo.
Isn't it just.
And apparently hand gilded.
Thank you very much.
The soap sounds wonderful. My dad is a beekeeper so I am partial to honey and honey scented things.
Hmmm, I wonder..
maybe you could use some of the honey from your dad's hives to make soap?
Can't be that hard, can it, seeing that many women used to make their own in the olden days. At least you would be sure of the ingredients, which these days aren't always healthy or pure.
What a perfect match. I agree with you about the strong scent in soaps these days. I would probably enjoy this scent since it reminds me of our candle factory we had when I was growing up as we used beeswax.
It's nice to meet you from Friday Finds over at Kim's Cafe'
Have a good day,
