Every piece of cute frog art is handcrafted by my husband and I in our Ohio studio. Each ceramic dish is beautifully unique and perfectly imperfect just like us. Each soap plate will vary from each other with brilliant uniqueness that is the hallmark of homemade. These soap holders are all built from flat slabs of clay and not wheel thrown. During the kiln firing process they can warp slightly. This is not considered a defect, but instead it makes each pottery plate unique and interesting. All soap trays will sit flat without rocking.

Each ceramics with frogs is about:
1.0 - 2.0 inches tall
4.75 - 5.5 inches across (depending on where you measure)

Color is something that is hard to show on a computer screen. Each different device shows color based on the factory settings. Each stoneware dish is first glazed by hand to highlight the green glassy ceramic frog. Green glaze can vary from light green to a darker drippy glaze. Wax is applied over the sculpted frog then each ceramic piece is dipped in a lead free brown shino glaze that sits deep into the textured surface with colors like: cream, honey, brown sienna, and mahogany. The overall look of each frog plate is stunning.

We use only stoneware clay in our ceramic handbuilding process. Stoneware is very durable and can go in the dishwasher or microwave. That's right, it is microwave safe and dishwasher safe! However, if you want your green frog to last a really long time - it is best to hand wash the dish.

Pottery will warm in the microwave, so please handle it with care. Stoneware is not safe for open flames or for the thermal shock of ovens or stove tops.
Stoneware clay is fired to such a high temperature the clay is forced to vitrify- which doesn't allow any water to soak in. This makes the bare clay food safe. It is for this reason that stoneware almost always has the bottoms left *unglazed*.
