A well-worn antique wooden mortar and pestle, turned from a single dense hardwood — likely walnut or fruitwood. The deep bowl shows years of actual use, with a rich, darkened patin a that comes only from time and handling. The spouted rim is a classic French farmhouse detail, practical for pouring. Pestle included. As useful on a kitchen counter today as it was a century ago, and far better looking than anything new. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. dimensions: mortar: 6"W x 6"D x 3.25"D pestle: 5.5"L Show more
