for those copper bowls, if you want to buy them cheaper in turkey or from an online retailer in turkey look for "ayran kasesi" not a shaving bowl. they are basicly the same product, shaving bowl being more elegantly named
I bought mine off of the Bay a few years ago. It came from Turkey and looks like the one in your picture. If I recall. It was $6 delivered. Felt like I was stealing it from them. I have a nice ceramic bowl. But reach for this one more often. I like that it's light weight and won't break if you drop it.
it is a good price, i checked some website for "ayran kasesi" rougly 5-7 USD. i dont think you can break a copper bowl, at most you can dent it
