Thinking of a modern scuttle

**tcharah** · 08-05-2009, 03:07 PM

Whell i was thinking...e need also a scuttle..a modern one..i was about to buy it, but it was ridicolous for me to do it! Ie: My region of the North of Portugal is very known for the pottery..fine porcelain to. My parents owns a Fine Porcelain (LIMOGES) factory - made by hand products; + im an architect and have some industrial design friends! All of this = maybe very soon i will present the answer for who are looking for "upscale" scuttles. Just have to find some time...and i will find it!

Don't discount the old molded porcelain scuttles. They really to work too. Just a little different as the brush stays moister from the steam coming up through the holes.

Cool stuff guys.

i have a nice vintage scuttle i got from CarrieM. still trying to figure out the best way to use it. so you dont put soap on the top of it, use it to heat the brush?

You put soap on the round part I thought, and the brush in the hole. Could be very very wrong though.

Not the old fashioned kind, but more of like if you put a bowl inside another bowl.
Thanks

Walmart, the gardening section, look for self watering planter, I just got one for 5 bucks and it held tap hot water warm for 30 min, I bet it will hold boiling water for longer. Mine is 2 pieces a bowl and a pot going into it.

I bought a Double walled ceramic bowl from Ikea that is doing the trick. Thanks everyone!

Sorry it took me so long to post back on this. Here is a couple shots of my custom scuttle. Also posted in the 'show and tell' thread.
