Disclaimer: I posted this in general shaving because these are not (yet?) for sale, and I really just want feedback on the design. However, if the potential for selling these makes this an inappropriate place to post, I apologize.
My wife is a potter, and her way of sharing this hobby with me has been to work with me on designing pieces to use for my shaving. She's turned out to like it pretty well.
Today she brought home her second finished scuttle, and the first to turn out the way she had hoped. (There were technical issues with the first arising out of a shared studio space.) There's a small album of various views here. (Note that these pics were taken by me with my cell phone, and the colors really aren't right.)
It's got a fairly small footprint for a scuttle, about the size of a large soup bowl or a medium (2-3 cup) teapot. It's a two piece design for easy cleaning, and so the lather bowl or the outer vessel can be used as an independent lather bowl in hot weather or when warm lather just isn't desired.
So, my B&B friends and neighbors, I'd like to ask you a couple of questions, if you don't mind. And you feel free to ask me any you can think of as well.

- Would you be interested in owning a scuttle like this?
- If so, what do you feel would be fair to pay for it?
- How about for a custom scuttle, with several selectable options?
- What do you think of scuttles with lids?
