Soap Dishes and Shakers

Dishes for holding the soap are made either to rest on a flat surface or to be fastened to the wall over the sink. They are usually of enameled ware or of wire, sometimes of galvanized ware, and are usually provided with a removable perforated tray upon which the soap rests.

Soap shakers for making soap-suds in the dishpan are wire mesh containers, either square or round, with wire handles. Small pieces of soap which would otherwise be wasted can thus be utilized.
