Turquoise Crackle Bathroom Set (Dish + Toothbrush Holder)

A handmade bathroom set in white clay finished in a turquoise blue crackle glaze — a pierced soap dish and a coiled toothbrush holder, sold together.

The making: Built in our garden shed in Scotland from white clay. The soap dish is shaped by hand and pierced through the base for drainage. The toothbrush holder is hand-coiled, with a textured exterior worked into the surface with knife marks. Both pieces are finished in a turquoise blue crackle glaze; the interior of the holder is sealed with a light green transparent glaze. The base of the holder carries the maker’s mark.

How it looks: Both pieces sit in a deep turquoise blue, the crackle glaze breaking finer in the dish and bolder across the textured ridges of the toothbrush holder. The white clay shows through at the rims where the glaze thins, and the holder’s interior glows pale green when you peer in — a quiet contrast to the bold turquoise outside.

Use it for:

• A coastal or coastal-Scandinavian bathroom basin pairing
• A modern bathroom that needs colour without competing patterns
• A second-bathroom refresh or holiday-let kit
• A housewarming or wedding gift for a friend setting up a flat
• A self-treat to replace the supermarket plastic set

A considered gift for the friend redoing a bathroom — housewarmings, weddings, or simply because.

Care: Hand wash both pieces with mild soap; the crackle pattern stays best with gentle washing.
