Handmade ceramic roof tiles were the building blocks of Chinese society. Since ancient times, homes, government buildings, and temples in cities and rural areas alike were topped with graduated layering of this distinctive and practical putty-colored tile. Shortened to fit on the edge of a kitchen or bathroom sink, these soap dishes cut from 19th century roof tiles are an elegant way to add a bit of storied history to the home.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
