Thread: looking for a moss style scuttle.....

...

Thanks for the help. I'll try it to find the seller.

make sure to check the dimensions before you buy. He has 3 sizes small, medium (from the pic) and large. The small has a pretty deep bowl that can tend to cause issues with building lather and the large has a huge shallow bowl. I've got one each of his small and large ones. They work and they are cheap that was the selling point for me. I can put up some pics when I get home with the scuttles and the tweezerman brush I use for comparison if you'd like.

Hey I just got a moss scuttle from sara bonnyman

Smaller Round Royal Fantasy Ceramic Shaving Scuttle - eBay (item 350288242022 end time Dec-07-09 11:34:53 PST)


I bought this guy... and evidently Rob Becker and I differ GREATLY in our concept of small. His dimensions are accurate, but this thing is huge (nearly the size of some decent sized teapots I own)... I can't imagine what a LARGE scuttle is for him. And he does not charge nearly enough for these things. His shipping was actually a bit more than he charged, so he got less than $15 - ebay and paypal fees. He's pulling in about $12 a piece on this parts and labor. It's a steal.

This ones a bit smaller than mine and only $18.50 shipped. Get it before I decide I need a second.

With all due respect, Ceramics are a whole universe. They require time, knowledge, and plenty of experience to produce. The science behind this art is nothing short of mind boggling. Potters spend YEARS perfecting their technique, developing clay body recipes, glazes etc. It is IMHO simplistic and rather dismissive to refer to this art form as "some burnt clay".
