Apothecary Mugs

[LinuxMintyFresh]

Anybody have any suggestions on where I might find a decently priced apothecary mug. I would really love to buy one as I like the handle style and the curved sides. I've searched the Nets for quite a while, and have yet to find these mugs for a good price. For that matter I have a hard time finding any decent looking mugs for cheap, which I don't understand. I mean 15-30USD seems steep for an oversized coffee mug if you ask me. Enlighten me, please.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about:

$42.50 direct from the Muhle Shop. Geez $30 is 33% off... bargain

The Col Conk one is cheaper @ $17.50 ......but only comes in white.

I'd be looking for an alternative at a second hand shop or something , you can get a brand new full blown scuttle for that type of price. All depends on exactly what you're after and how much you want to spend

Or easier still, just face lather

That site sells them for even more then others.. I have not seen a reasonable price mug on any site I have visited. I have also checked out local antique stores and haven't had any luck finding one yet. I did purchase a latte mug from my local dollar store and it was ok. But not really wide enough and to deep for bowl lathering. I now use a shallow bowl that I found at a local super store and it is working nicely. It tapers on the side and is the right depth for me. It does not have a handle and it has some kids cartoon graphic on it, but for $3 it is keeping me happy until I either find the perfect mug/bowl or get a scuttle

I have seen another post suggest a rice bowl, thy look to be decent as well, keep a eye out for them

It can be done even for such tight price...I had the same issue some time ago and found one here (as pic about € 20,75) at a local store (i don't know about today exchange rates EUR-USD but i think it will be under your USD 30 range...)

They were wonderful performers, heavy and functional. The big issue here is the costs freights from Europe...maybe 2nd hand somewhere.

If u have a china town near by check it out. I find a lot of stone and ceramic bowls for dirt cheap, 2 dollars cdn


Btw those buddha bowls are sick!!!!

looks like a standard issue onion soup bowl would work just fine any kitchen store should have them as well as k-mart or wally world etc.

There's also this one from the gentleman at Ogallala Bay Rum. This doesn't really help with the price point, but it's a bargain figured by the pound...

There is a burt's bees one available for cheap. I picked one up with aftershave for my brother a few months ago, not sure from where though.

I have the Burt's Bees mug. I consider it too large for practical use, but it is nice for hanging some razors in for display.
