My family gave me this Georgetown Pottery scuttle for this past Fathers' Day:
I love this thing! The bowl is just the right size for whipping up lather, it keeps the lather warm, and it's heavy enough (when filled with water) that I'm confident about using it one-handed with it sitting on the counter. Though not an issue for me, it might be too large for folks with smaller mitts, and it does have some heft to it...I think mine is the G8, middle sized model...I can't imagine how large the big version is!
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I wouldn't want a scuttle without a stopper. Even if you hold it perfectly upright while making lather, you're going to slosh water around. I prefer to hold whatever I'm using to make lather at more of an angle (sometimes even on its side), so a stopper is indispensable for me!
