Here's a bowl i got the other day. Any thoughts ?

About 4 1/2 top opening and about 2 inches deep..

Cool bowl, especially if it fits the shave den decor. It would be really interesting if the inside had any sort of texture similar to the outside.

thanks. The inside is textured but not like the outside... its more of a grit style inside it.. i couldn't beat the price i paid for it.. 0.25 cents

That’s good! As long as it’s not too permeable or conversely leaking any chemicals, the bowl will build lather faster with the grit surface.

It'll be really good for lathering up some CBL Iron Throne!

The "scales" around the bowl look VERY similar to artichoke petals...... Maybe it was intended to be a bowl to serve whole artichokes in?

I was thinking a pine cone

honestly i have no idea what its original purpose was, i just liked the monty python holy grail / game of thrones look it has and thought it might be a good bowl for shaving purposes.....

I think it is a nod to a pineapple. Pineapples were a symbol of hospitality and friendship. Up here in New England you see pineapple in many old homes. You see them on handrails, doors and other ornate fixtures.

Thanks for the reply.

your purchase price reminds me of when I bought this cup at a thrift shop. It still had the original $7.95 price tag on the bottom. I got it for 50 cents. Melted some odds and ends of shaving soap in it. Then I thought......what an idiot!.....I should have used it for my coffee!
