With all the talk about scuttles....
I just wanted to show you what I consider to be a great scuttle. I would like to get some feedback from you guys that normally use one of these in your daily routine. This is a wonderful piece that a friend of mine made for me as a present using a few guidelines from me. She is a wonderful potter!!!! and I am grateful for her generosity. As you can see in these pictures, the top part of the scuttle is about 6" wide and about 2" deep, while the complete contraption is about 3" deep. I think that having a large bowl is essential for making good lather and this one does exactly that, when you use products that produce a lot of lather, this may be an advantage. The scuttle accommodates a 23mm silvertip brush and I have used it also with a larger brush I have. The fit with the soap guzzler is not as good as with the 23mm brush. I think that the geometry is great for lathering as this scuttle can be filled up to the rim. Also, the clay is somewhat rough, which helps the process and it is blue, my favorite color. The fit of the 2 bowls is pretty good and because the piece is very heavy, there is no play while you are lathering. The walls are pretty thick too. I must say that since I am a face latherer at heart and do not normally use a scuttle, I cannot comment much about its heat retention. However, I have noticed that it dries the lather a bit. Let me know what you think.
