Product information
  • Glossy, ceramic tile / easel sold separately
  • Powerful Mother Teresa quote
  • Inspiring art gift for kitchen and home
  • Use as a trivet or standing display on your own stand/easel
  • Designed and produced exclusively by The Catholic Company

When we added this simple tile as part of a Catholic Company Exclusive saint quotes series, we had no idea how quickly it would become a top seller.

Our Product Designer stumbled upon the moving quote by Mother Teresa, "Wash the plate not because it is dirty nor because you are told to wash it, but because you love the person who will use it next," and knew that it was a hidden gem among Mother Teresa’s many well-known quotes. This down-to-earth reflection will make washing and drying dishes a whole new, spiritual experience! 

A thoughtful, inspiring gift for families, and especially for anyone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen, the glossy finish, ceramic tile is perfect to use as a trivet (Includes 4 no-slip rubber feet) or as a standing plaque in an easel. . Easel sold separately here.


Our exclusive “black and white” series features powerful saint quotes and prayers, brought together with a simple and serene graphic design.

Wish it came with an easel
