Post by: revil41 on March 12, 2013, 08:51:52 PM: My brother has this i am going to say its a teapot. The seal is blurry so i can not tell for sure whose it is, also the spout is wide.

I agree...and it's not a tea pot, it's meant to be a "Scuttle Shaving Mug". Shaving soap on the top over the drain holes, warm water and brush in the scuttle, straight razor laying across the indent by the handle...and you're good to go.

Yeah - the sheen on the glaze is wrong, and the mark dodgy. The one on Ebay is also modern

Post by: KC on March 14, 2013, 10:05:31 AM: We have been collecting tea items for years and years...and this isn't a tea pot!

Just search "scuttle" or "scuttle shaving mug" and you will see more than you want to! :)

"In this one you fill up the reservoir underneath and keep the soap in the top. It was used mainly before running water, so you could take nice hot water to your mirror, dunk your brush through the opening, and load up on top and then facelather

The mug is simply used to hold the soap in and load up your brush on, you then lather up in a seperate bowl or on your face"
