A sweet little antique French glazed earthenware mortar in a soft, muted sage green — small, solid, and beautifully simple in form, with a pinched spout and a smooth interior glaze that has aged to a lovely warm tone. The kind of humble kitchen object that was made purely to do its job and ended up being quietly beautiful in the process. Use it as intended for grinding small quantities of spice or salt, or set it on a kitchen shelf or windowsill as a small decorative vessel. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. dimensions: 3.25"dia x 1.5"H Show more
