    I ran across this at a local thrift store and could not pass it up. The finish and glazing are beautiful. The inside if the bowl has somewhat textured finish which aids in lathering (when I bowl lather). Nice size. Good ergonomics for hand holding. The maker's mark on the bottom indicates it was made in 1997. Wish it could talk as the journey is most likely interesting.

    Awesome find! I've been searching for a good thrift store "lather" bowl.

    I do enjoy surfing the junk shops and you have found something that would definitely jump out and say "buy me" if I were still a bowl lathering shaver. None-the-less; great score!
