New, favorite scuttle/mug.
I just got this "House of Fuller," scuttle and it has become my favorite! Its so easy to access the hot water, soap and its got a sailboat on it. Now i just need some type of matching brush.
Just had to share...too cool!

How big is yours?
I have a very similar one in plain white.
It has a hole at the bottom, and if you fill it with hot water prior to shaving you'll also have warmed up lather.

Looks really nice. I never understood how these old soap mugs/scuttles work, and I don't know if BeBerlin already has the info in the wiki
.
Don't mean to hijack but can someone clue me in?

Nothing too tragic, I think.
There is the part for the soap with the spines to keep it from soaking and with a little nose for the soap water down into the lather bowl. Well and the lather bowl. Its rather small though.

The scuttle, measures 16.0cm L x 9.5cm W x 7.0cm H...im guessing that they were made around the mid 20th century? Good tip on the bottom hole...did yours come with a cork? Originally Posted by 0livia

LOL I usually convert to inches for you!
Maybe it wasn't meant to have a cork at all.
Just put it on the desk upside down and before you shave, you empty it.
The porcellain will store some heat.
Maybe you can water your brush in it, hehehe
