I think it's stunning, another fine example of yet another thoughtful and well executed product from CRSW!

That said, I like what PannaCrema did with their own ceramic bowl. Instead of using their regular soaps, they developed and entirely new soap base that performs noticeably better. IMO this ceramic bowl would be more welcome if CRSW had a premium line, unless they are pricing it in the sub ~$30 range (in which case it represents a simple packaging upgrade from the tins).

On that note, does anyone know if the formulation of the included soap is different in any way? In the absence of a premium soap line like Nuavia, I suppose they could make do with a premium scent for this release.

I hope to see lot's of SOTD's with bowl, I'm sure it will give you plenty of fits and convulsions! Let those who enjoy the products, soaps and delightful surprises CRSW brings simply have their fun. It can't be that hard to do, right?

I like it a lot, and like that it has the logo. I wish my Nauvia had a logo, actually. It's one of the reasons I left the stickers on. Without the stickers, it looks very generic to me.

I can see that shevek - it's simply a case of aesthetic preference. I prefer my products to be simple and not have a logo (which is one reason why I adore the Nuavia bowl), but the opposite opinion is equally valid.

What is unfortunate about the placement of the company name and logo?

I think the bowl looks very nice, although my fave is the Mitchell's Wool Fat sheep soap dish.

Unfortunate in that the logo placement is unattractive to me Tbone (as I mentioned earlier, in most cases I prefer bowls without branding, and this one has the logo/acronym front and center). Other than that, I like the coloring and general design.

If it costs more than 97¢, count me out. I like my Wal-Mart salsa bowl.

Ok, ok. $1. Honestly, though, I've never been a bowl guy. I was bummed when I dropped and broke my $1 Anchor Hocking bowl. Imagine how much more bummed I'll be when I drop my expensive ceramic bowl.
The CRSW bowl is very cool, though.
