The Tidepool Absorbent Stone Tray Set — Bay & Birch
A wet soap dish, a ring under a bottle, a puddle beside the tap: the small damp marks of a bathroom counter are easy to ignore and hard to love. The Tidepool is a pair of slim, ribbed trays in soft white, made from natural diatom mud and plant fibre, that take up water and let it go again, so the surface stays dry.
Set a soap, a cup, or a bottle on a tray, and the water drains into the stone instead of onto the counter. It dries by itself, in minutes, and leaves a quiet, tidy look.

Soft White — a pale, warm white with a matte, stone-like finish
A Closer Look
The top of each tray is cut with fine parallel grooves, which give water room to spread and evaporate, and give a bar of soap or the base of a bottle something to rest on. The edges are softly rounded, and the underside is flat, with four small black feet that lift the tray slightly off the counter and keep it from sliding.
To clean, rinse under running water and wipe with a damp sponge, then leave to dry in the open air.

What's Included
- 2 x Tidepool absorbent stone trays
Please note: the soap, jar, perfume bottle, vase, and other items shown in photos are for styling purposes only and are not included. The tray absorbs a little water, and is not a drip tray for large amounts of liquid. Handle with care, as stone can chip or break if dropped. Light marks from soap or tea can appear over time. Measurements may vary by 1–3 cm. Color may appear slightly different depending on your screen and lighting.
A dry counter is a small thing, and it makes a bathroom feel looked after.
