“Let them eat cake” is the most famous quote attributed to Marie-Antoinette, the queen of France during the French Revolution. As the story goes, it was the queen’s response upon being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread.

Enjoy one of our best loved designs with our porcelain tray that exactly fits our guest soap. ( We call it a guest soap for its small yet it is ample enough).
