This not a scuttle, like modern ones designed to keep your lather warm...
It is a so called shaving mug: you fill the inside up with water and can soak your brush. The top part is designed to hold your puck - just press it in a bit. This is fantastic for loading your soap the way I like to do (someone please provide a link as I am on my mobile - Merkur Man method).
It comes from a time, where you only had one soap and would use it up. The holes are there for water to run off... ENJOY

@alfredus One Murker Man Method Video as requested;
I too load this way... it's brilliant.
The other way to use the shave mug is to load your brush from the soap container and then rest your bush in the top of the mug between passes. The heat of the mug will keep your lather warm.... sort of. Haslinger makes the perfect sized puck for using with these mugs BTW.
