What is it?

If in doubt it is a Bostonian. Or one of the ten that look like it.

Thanks. Search Avalon Pottery. Alison was really easy to work with. She gave a few different designs for the artwork. I thought price was right too!

 

[SchoolForAnts]

Thanks mate - will check out her work

That was how it was originally attached. Will work on that sometime

There was one she had with owls on it which had me contact her for my design. She would also change the size if needed and choice of colour. I went with a denim blue. I love how it looks. Whipped up a nice lather from a TOBS tube also!

That’s it. I’m pretty sure out of all the results for shave bowl on Etsy, this was the only Aussie one and shipping price acceptable. All the American stuff is pricey to get sent here!!
