I’m a scuttle lover. I have all mentioned above and about every other contemporary make as well as a pile of antiques.
My opinion, much of the dirty bird designs are what I want in a scuttle. I like texture in the bowl. I like glazed to clean out well. I like the lip to hold lather and to scrape the brush. I like the amply large pour/fill mouth. I like the size of the large lather bowl. The handle is fine but not 100% comfortable to me for some reason. My greatest critique would be it is very heavy. It is a trade off for thicker ceramic I know….but it is quite heavy compared to many others I have.
Contrary to others, I would never own/keep any “two-piece” scuttle and don’t really consider that a scuttle at all. Just a bowl in a bowl.
1. What do you look for in a scuttle?
Above summary
2. What do you like / dislike?
The worst dislikes to me are tiny water fill hole which is bad for filling and emptying and also any that is simply too small.
3. Which color is a favorite of yours?
Many including white…somehow don’t have a green one yet?
4. Any thoughts on a handle style - what is ideal? A loop handle or a post handle that sticks out?
Loop please, post is not enough for full scuttle.
5. Glaze finish - glossy? Matte?
Glossy but nothing wrong with matte
