2 Pack Thick Clear Glass Pint Jar Soap Dispenser with Matte Black Stainless Steel Pump, 16ounce Clear Boston Round Bottles Dispenser with Rustproof Pump for Essential Oil, Lotion Soap

Katia de Peyer $ 5.85
As part of my daily hygiene, I use a special soap at my sink that is sort of pricey and I only need a little bit of it each day. A few months ago, I spilled it as I was getting some out, and realized I needed a way that metered predictably how much I used, and also wouldn’t be prone to spills anytime the plastic bottle was uncapped.These look beautiful on my sink, and come close to matching the satin nickel fixtures I have. The glass is very thick and the bottom of the glass has a circle of dozens of short curved ridges. The pump so far has worked great metering out a precise, small quantity of soap so I don’t use it up too quick.Unfortunately, I received two of them and both of them have a slightly bowed bottom, which meant on my hard sink counter, they wobbled. I don’t know if this deformation comes from the molds they are using being slightly off, or the process they use to remove the glass from the molds, or unbalanced cooling. Basically, I know very little about how to make glass, but the both wobbled in the same direction which was offset from the seam which joins the two glass halves.The good news is that the bottom of the glass has dozens of short ridges. So, if you buy this item, you also want to invest in some sandpaper, and you’ll want to literally “spin the bottle” (in the vertical/normal orientation, not horizontal/game orientation) in order to grind down some of the ridges on the bottom so that it sits flat on a counter without wobbling. I did this, and on one bottle I was able to eliminate the wobble entirely, and on the other one for some reason, it still has an almost imperceptible wobble.

About the Author

About the Author

Katia de Peyer’s first book Dancing with MySelf, Sensuous Exercises for Body, Mind and Spirit (Nucleus Publications, 1991; La Source Press, 2026) introduced her method of inner-centering through movement, hailed by Diane von Furstenberg as a whole new attitude about exercising. Her second book Enjoy Your Healing Power (La Source Press, 2025) is an intuitive, helpful guide for developing our healing power.  A ballet dancer born in Paris who lived in Spain to further her studies in flamenco, Katia moved to New York in the late sixties to start a successful career as a personal trainer. There she met the virtuoso clarinettist Gervase de Peyer in 1976.  She and Gervase married in 1980 and lived for two decades in the US and then in the UK until Gervase’s death in 2017.  Katia continues her work as a writer and healer in London and New York.
