Mandalay Marble Toothbrush Cup
Marble Toothbrush Cup
This beautiful solid marble toothbrush cup has been hand-chiselled in a tiny village in Burma. You can really see where the chisel has been worked down the inside edges, making it incredibly tactile. It's also very heavy, so won't fall over when you put your electric toothbrush in it. It sits very neatly next to our marble soap dispenser which is the same size, finish and feel. A neat little pair all the way from a small family workshop just north of Mandalay. The village itself is called "marble" in Burmese, where every family makes a living from the giant marble mountain that they live beneath. Pair with our marble soap dispenser and soap dish. A very smart collection which will hopefully transport you to Burma in your mind every time you use them.

Home is at the heart of Kalinko, the social enterprise bringing the best of Burmese craftsmanship into your living spaces.
The high quality and beauty of these homewares turns everyday items into something to cherish, from boho-style rattan furniture to hand-chiselled marble bathroom accessories.
Each Kalinko piece takes days, or even weeks, to make. They use the phrase “slow homeware” to describe the steady, age-old techniques their crafters use to create these long-lasting and sustainable items.
The artisans are based in villages right across Burma, with Kalinko working with around 300 small craft families.
38% of families in Burma live off $300 a month, yet the cost of adequate nutrition, healthcare and education is $750 a month. Kalinko aims to close this gap for its makers, reducing their need to rely on unskilled farming work to supplement their income.
Every piece you buy from them ensures these artisans get the fair pay their skills deserve. It’s a mission that makes their stunning homewares an even more meaningful addition to your home.
