    Many years ago I found an artisan who made this piece for me outstanding quality and it's held up for years. Can't find his contact information but her sign his products RAB. I don't know whether or not he's still in business. Anybody have any leads on this guy or any other artist and who can produce products like this?

    I wouldn't try that with a straight razor.

    RAB is Robert A Becker. I have one of his scuttles. He has an Etsy store but shows he is on a break.

    @Old School showed me his new scuttle today and it made me think about Robert Becker and the scuttle I used to have that he made for me. He does really fantastic work. I eventually came to learn that scuttles are not for me and sold it off, but he sure did make some beautiful pieces.

    If I remember correctly I have a shave brush holder from him as well. The holder is a different color.
    Would love to get a matching set.
    @stingraysrock
    Can you please send me the link to its Etsy shop? I've tried searching my name and haven't found him.

    Sometime around 2013 or 2014, Robert announced he was no longer taking orders for scuttles due to health reasons. Said he was going to focus on other things. not sure if he ever returned other than a new listing on eBay every blue moon...

    There are a few posts here on TSD about his work. Search terms include RAB Scuttle, Becker, Feats Of Clay, and others.

    As has been posted, he appears to be inactive.

    I received a really nice personalized copper bowl off Etsy for Father’s Day last year…. Should last a few generations.

    That looks great! Is it actual copper or copper color ceramic?
