To recap we are having ten larger lather bowls made. The new ones measure 5"x 1 1/2" deep. Our original lather bowls measure 4 1/2" x 1 1/4" deep. Of the ten larger ones made there are five Cobalt and five Gunmetal. Two Gunmetal are already spoken for by the customer who proposed the idea. The idea originated from him using a larger knot brush and needing more space inside the bowl than our original provides. Other customers may like the larger one out of personal preference. These ten are a trial to gauge demand and collect feedback. All other aspects of the larger bowl are identical - the grooves in the bottom, sides just the right height for lathering but low enough to avoid knocking the brush against, convenient thumb button on the outside and gently curved sides to contain the lather. Price on our original bowls is $21.75 and these larger ones are $24.95 while they last.
Here are two pictures of them after they have been through the kiln at a toasty 1200 degrees. Next up is they go back in so the glaze can make these ugly ducklings into the beautiful swans that they are.
Tell me what you think!
