    I like the third bowls shape. I also agree that more aggressive ridges inside would be preferable. Bumps rather than ridges, maybe?
    I also like the brush in the last photo but would prefer if it was able to tail stand.

    Keep up the great work! They're all beautiful!

    Please PM me if you are ever selling them.
    May your next shave be your best shave!

    I like the second one, but with the grooves in the bottom of the third. Are they hollow? I reckon I'd buy one...

    I like the shape of the first one, the handle of the second one and the spout of the last picture, I like the way that it looks a bit less angular. From a colour point of view I prefer the darker ones.
    That's not to say that any one of them is not nice though.

    I think those are excellent and my preference would be for the larger, 4x3.25, size. I agree that experimenting with different patterns of bumps and ridges could be helpful in lathering. Colour choice is a personal thing and I have always been partial to a cobalt blue. I really like the shape of the white 3 inch brush handle also, looks like it would very comfortable to use. Great start, hope you have success.

    I like the design of the first and third, how the water spout and handle are not located directly across from each other. Gives it a unique look. The colors on all three look great, I'm a big fan of the earth tones for bowls and such. Keep up the good work. And you know which ever one you to send to will be just fine lol

    Here's one that I had made by Robert Becker, I don't think he is making any more...but could be wrong. I wanted a raised cross at the bottom and texture on the sides. The swirling texture on the sides does no good, should be ribs running from the lip down to the center of the bottom. Love mine
