I'm currently looking for a large round mug like the one used in Mantics "How to build and aply traditional shaving lather" excellent video on you tube.

The closest thing I can think of is a large cappucino mug or a large soup mug. I've seen the very thing on Nannys soap site for £5 but it's £3.50 postage on top of that. I've tried Ikea and various charity shops to no avail. I have been using a ramekin but now that I have a fuller brush to use the ramekins no longer big enough. I'm hoping someone on here has found a cheap alternative. I want something with a handle on it rather than just a bowl.

Any suggestions?
 
Ikea do a range of wide opening coffee mugs which i used before i bought a scuttle. They did the job. failing that, as you said a cappuccino mug. It's the right season for carboot sales, so you will more than likely see some at them if nowhere else.
 
You could try ebay, you might be able to get one delivered for 4 or 5 quid. Postage is usually 3 quid min.
 
Fido purchased a few and this thread which may help you, have a read at this thread

The bowl here is now the only one I use. The dimensions are perfect for all my brushes.

Good luck if you can find one as big as you want with a handle. There really are a lot of good sized containers to be found in charity shops and car boot sales etc. But there are also a lot to be found among the cheaper goods in the High St. IKEA is always a good source.
 
Ok thanks for the suggestions. I've been in and out of charity shops and Ikea so my next stop is a local pottery shop to see how much it would be to have one made.

Fido - I've posted a card.

It is indeed a large cappucino mug in the video. Here is another video that might give you some additional ideas:
