Ansgar of Schwarzweisskeramik specializes in black and white glazes and creates a world of beauty with those two colors only. All of his products are large, hefty and highly functional. Mama Bears Soaps is proud to offer an limited number of exquisite shaving containers (mugs and scuttles). All items are entirely made by hand. The raw material is stoneware clay. It is fired at 1220°C in an oxidizing atmosphere. The glazes used are food, microwave and dishwasher safe.

Every item is hand crafted and therefore a unique piece of pottery. Because of this the indicated sizes are but indicative. All mugs by Schwarzweisskeramik feature grooves in the bottom. This makes the creation of the lather easier, for an uneven surface enables a better mixing of the dissolved soap with the air needed to make a creamy, luxurious lather. Yet another unique feature is the thumb handle, which enables the user to hold the mug safely even when it is wet and slippery. Apart from that, the mug simply feels quite comfortable in your hand.
These are top of line scuttles and mugs and each is handcrafted by Ansgar in Germany. He sends us boxes as he can so there is no guarantee that there will always be stock on a scuttle at this time, however this is a hurdle that we hope to overcome someday. If we are out of stock that product is removed from view. If you see it below, then it is available. There is a shipment due in mid December.
