It is normally used for dips and stuff. Glazed pottery... I vigorously negotiated with my wife to use it as a scuttle. It's mine now... come on beard grow fast! we have a scuttle to break in! 
OMG I found a treasure in the kitchen....

That piece indeed looks a wonderful find. Lather in good health!
looks perfect
I've got a dip chiller and a BOB.E scuttle. I use the little dip chiller a lot, but the bigger plant pot, not so much.
I may even put a plant in it.

nice haha. I love it when you find new uses for crap you had previously dismissed as useless
NICE! Looks like the perfect size. Well done! You'll have to be sure to make it up to her in some way. Sometimes our Honeys don't understand our shave sickness. 
That's awesome. I had a similar experience when someone posted the infamous BB&B mug, and I realized I had a similar mug that would work perfectly!
mmmm
Its time to do some searching at our basement

Early on I discovered that our stoneware cereal bowls were perfect for lathering, but my wife vigorously objected to me using anything from "her" kitchen for shaving. On the good news side, she hasn't said anything about how much I've spent in the last 5 months so we're both happy with the arrangement.
Perfect.

Very nice indeed. It pays off to search cabinets, attics, basements, garages, etc. Who knows what you'll find. Enjoy. 
Nice!

first time I used and it is perfect! I poured some scalding water in the reservoir and started to make some lather then sat the bowl on the reservoir. It kept it warm all through the shave... I came back half an hr later after shaving and the thing still very hot lol
Looks like it was designed for it!
Wondering about the artwork....not shaveworthy?

That's a wonderful find! I think you should buy your wife something nice in exchange for letting you use it as a scuttle.

My shaves keep getting better. I talked to my wife about the origins of this item. Apparently it's a wedding gift from long ago. A hand-made pottery item that is called a dip chiller. I call it a damn good wedding gift!
I've been married 15 years so I rummaged around and found all the guest book, gifts list etc from the wedding...nothing remotly close to a shaving scuttle...sigh.
Guess I will have to be content with the lovley wife and happy daughter that has come with the package
