RECYCLED WINDOWPANE SOAP DISH AND VOTIVE HOLDER
$70.00

Bask in the Glow

Create your own soothing spa environment with these luminous glass accessories. As you sink into the relaxation of a warm bath, you'll find your soap resting in this handmade glass dish, and enjoy the shifting, warm glow from your matching tea light holder. Both pieces share clean, minimalist lines, and a refreshing, cucumber green color that will soothe your soul, even if you're just catching a brisk morning shower.

The solid heft of the piece conveys the quality and craftsmanship that goes into its making. It comes from the OATKA Glass Studio, located in a 19th century warehouse in the former industrial belt of upstate New York. In the language of the indigenous Seneca nation, "oatka" means "through the opening"--both the name of a local creek and an appropriate title for a studio that prides itself for working with reclaimed window glass which is rescued from becoming landfill waste. The impurities in old glass give the bowl an ethereal, glacial green color, and the layered, uneven edges of the raw glass create a compelling, visual depth and a mottled texture that welcomes tactile exploration. Handmade in Batavia, NY.
