Pagoda Garden Triple-Milled Bar Soap

Product Description

Our exclusive Pagoda Garden Triple-Milled Soap Bar brings to your home an exotic floral scent reminiscent of an Asian garden, with hints of cattleya and other orchids. WILLIAMSBURG bar soaps are triple-milled and enriched with natural olive oil, just as they were in the 18th century, for a luxurious wash.

Our Pagoda Garden bar soap reflects the popularity of Chinese design in Europe and the colonies, thanks to the growth of Asian trade in the 18th century made. The crisp black and white label with its Asian toile pattern is also a nod to that trend.

Inspiration

Soaps were occasionally made at home in the eighteenth-century by boiling lime-ash and fat products over an outdoor fire. However, those who could afford them preferred the finer imported soaps available from local merchants. Imported soaps were generally scented and colored.

Soap could be purchased by the ball or the bar. Bars were formed by cooling the hot soap mixture in a large rectangular mold and then cutting the block into individual bars. Round wash balls were shaped by hand.
