Mortar & Pestle Sml Bowl

You know, we often say that kitchens are the heart of a home and there’s something about a marble mortar and pestle that makes us feel a bit nostalgic. It’s a classic - both in how it works and how it looks. Our Mortar & Pestle Sml Bowl has this clean finish and neutral tone (b’Marble’) that just works for any kitchen set-up, no matter what the current trend is. We’ve kept its measurements on the compact side too. At 10.5x10.5x5.5cm for the bowl and 12x4.5cm for the pestle, it’s handy to use and store, which makes it ideal for smaller city apartments or even office pantries. We realise that one of the biggest reasons people love using these is because you can get some really amazing textures and flavours with just a bit of elbow grease, compared to electric grinders that can heat up spices or seeds and alter their taste or aroma just slightly. Not to mention, there’s something oddly soothing about crushing herbs in small batches. The rounded base is practical for keeping things from spilling over but it also means you get better purchase when you’re grinding things finely. It’s pretty enough to be left out on a shelf as part of your décor, especially if you’ve got more open storage than closed cabinets - can actually really tie together a modern farmhouse look with some wooden utensils thrown in!
