The bone china feels properly weighty and smooth in hand, exactly what you want for working up a lather. The drainage holes in the base keep the brush from sitting in water, so it dries out nicely between passes.

The drainage reservoir is a game changer—no more sitting in a puddle of warm water between passes. Hand-finished in the UK, it feels properly substantial in the hand, and the navy glaze has a nice depth to it.

I wasn't sure about the drainage design at first, but the reservoir underneath really keeps lather from pooling in a mess. The navy finish looks sharp on the shelf, and it’s lighter than my old ceramic mug yet feels solid.
