My new Georgetown Pottery G5 scuttle just arrived - SEVEN weeks after ordering it!!! The people at GP were courteous and responsive to my queries throughout the wait. After confirming that it'd arrive two weeks ago a production problem delayed it another two weeks after that confirmation. The advertised three to five weeks is a long time to wait but seven weeks seemed interminable!
The G5 is a really nice scuttle though and I'm happy with the purchase. The craftsmanship is evident and the glaze/coloring is beautiful.
I tried it out this AM and it worked great. The lather stayed nice and warm but heat from the almost boiling H2O caused the lather in the bowl to break down a bit. However, the lather that was on the brush kept its proper consistency. I'll have to fiddle around with adjusting the water temp.
One criticism is that the lip which is designed to keep lather from overflowing from the bowl could be a little more pronounced.
Evidently my G5 is one of the last that GP is sending out as they are discontinuing the model. It will be replaced by another design that they said will be easier to make.
