This heavy stone mortar is a relic of the "Old World" kitchen. Carved from a single block of solid granite, it was originally used for grinding fresh herbs and spices. Its simple, primitive form—free of ornate handles or decoration—gives it a timeless, utilitarian beauty that feels right at home in a French Farmhouse kitchen or an English cottage pantry. Use this antique stone bowl to bring rustic charm to a kitchen vignette. It looks incredible filled with coarse sea salt, garlic bulbs, or a simple moss mound. **Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.
