Vintage White Porcelain Mortar & Pestle

A classic vintage white porcelain mortar and pestle with a beautifully simple, substantial form. Heavy in the hand with a luminous white glaze, it is as handsome sitting out on a kitchen counter as it is useful for grinding spices, herbs and seasonings.

The petite scale makes it particularly practical for everyday use, while the gently flared mortar and substantial pestle give it the wonderful utilitarian character of an old kitchen or apothecary piece. A timeless kitchen tool that deserves to be used, and it beautiful enough to be left out where you can see it.

Material: White porcelain
Date: Vintage, likely mid-to-late 20th century
