I have two that I tend to grab more than the others. A DB 1.5 Scuttle with Dribble port and this Christmas received a Symmetrical Sheet metal bowl. Overall I have 11 bowls/scuttles in my den.

That's nice Mick. I thought about getting one of these.

I used my Dremel tool and router bits to abrade random groves in the bowl. Be sure to wear eye protection. The roughed up bowl works very well for me.

If you like an inexpensive, well grooved, bowl, this $10 suribachi from Amazon is fiercely grooved to be a wasabi grater. A real lather machine when I used it. But I've heard it's hard on badger. Fine with boar.
Ron:
I use a Vintage Sears, Roebuck & Co. Catalog Ceramic Shaving Mug (I'm a 90% face latherer & 10% scuttle user), which is 3¼ inch tall and 3⅜ inch across the top. Also, this mug is small enough to easily fit many soaps and at the same time being only 3¼ inchs deep, it prevents almost all shave brush 'clanking'.

I dragged out the step-stool to explore the very top shelf of my kitchen cupboard, et voila!
A child's mug that was given to us by my sister upon the birth of my first child. It's by Wedgwood, from the Beatrix Potter "Peter Rabbit" collection.
The text reads:
(on the far side) "Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton tail, and Peter."
(under the handle) "Now run along and don't get into mischief."
The brush is a synthetic from The Body Shop, for scale.
I would have preferred something without a handle so it would nest inside my lather bowl better, but this was the kicker - a puck of Williams Mug Shaving Soap fits perfectly without any mods.
But - since it's sort of an heirloom, I'll keep looking for another mug/bowl/ramekin, preferably with a cover.

My favourite mug is my Turkish Hammered Copper Shaving Mug.
The dimples make it a breeze to whip up a good lather.
It shone like glass when I first bought it.
But now it's got a very nice patina.

My best bowl is my Mortar Bowl - It started out in life as a mortar and pestle which I picked it up at a Chinese Shop for only 2,90
The heavy ceramic retains the heat, making it great for making hot lather in winter.
The roughened texture inside makes it a breeze to whip up a nice lather.
Even when it's not in use, I use it to store my facecloth (see 1st pic)

This is my large Captain's Choice Bowl with a slightly wet Proraso lather that I was working on.
