This 1960s soap dish, shaped as a swan and crafted from solid brass, features a matte to semi-gloss finish in a warm golden hue. The scalloped, sculptural body—reminiscent of feathers or soft water ripples—seamlessly transitions into an elongated neck and head with minimal etched lines for the eyes and beak. Set on three rounded brass ball feet, the dish is slightly elevated for a light, airy effect that echoes mid-century modern everyday elegance. Subtle patina, gentle signs of oxidation, and nuanced color shifts in the brass surface are clear markers of its mid-century authenticity. Functionally, this piece blends utilitarian purpose with an ornamental approach: its harmonious proportions and gently upturned bowl offer practical storage for small accessories or soaps. The item is in excellent vintage condition, with no repairs or heavy wear—only minor patina consistent with the 1960s era, preserving its collectible character. The swan motif speaks to the 1960s fascination with organic forms and the artistry of the everyday. The brass surface, softly capturing and reflecting light along each curved edge, conjures a tranquil ritual—a fleeting moment above still water. Every mark and shade in the metal seems to tell a story, recalling a mid-century sensibility where utility served as an invitation to interpret the forms of nature in brass. Animal inspiration is rendered here in a timeless language, maintaining grace while avoiding literal ornamentation. This dish could be placed on a living room console amidst a
