I first read about the Ikea 365+ Plocka bowl on other forums and found a link to a German site where someone had drilled a hole in one of these double walled ceramic bowls to make a primitive scuttle. It should be noted at this point that Ikea also do a 365+ bowl without the Plocka label and these are not double walled and cannot be drilled if that's what you're planning.

I haven't gone to the trouble of drilling anything into the bowl as I have a Dirty Bird Pottery Scuttle on the way to me, so I just used this bowl as it came from Ikea with my shave today. I found it to be ideal, the bowl is just the right width, height and weight to whirl my brush around in and as I left it soaking with the brush in a sink full of hot water while I showered, the double walled ceramic retained much of the heat throughout at least two passes. It's not a lightweight bowl, however it's not that heavy either so it's easy to hold in one hand as you lather up and I feel it would be a good item to have in your luggage as a travel item. At just £1.26 it's well worth picking up the next time you're in Ikea.
