Mortar & Pestle

This piece is 3 3/4 inches in diameter and 2 1/2 inches tall.

The advantage of using mortar and pestle is that it gives a better flavor out of the spices. When the spices are crushed in it, it releases more flavor and oil.

My bowls are made with a 100% non-toxic stoneware clay and glazed with 100% lead-free glazes. Because my pottery is fired to such a high temperature (2205 degrees F), it is very durable. No need to hand-wash your mug, you can safely put it in the dishwasher (although I do recommend the less-abrasive hand washing).

These pieces are food safe, microwave safe, refrigerator safe, dishwasher safe and can be used for both hot and cold items.

PROCESS
- Wheel-thrown on the potter's wheel
- Hand-trimmed, then dried very slowly to prepare for bisque fire
- Bisque fired to a temperature of 1945f
- Hand glazed (brushed or dipped) to keep the uniqueness of the piece
- Finally glaze fired so the piece is fully vitrified


ABOUT YOUR PIECE
My pottery is not made from molds, nor is it mass produced. Because of this, there will be some slight imperfections and/or differences in multiple pieces and no two pieces will ever look the same (which is expected in handmade pottery). Regardless, I can guarantee that your piece will have character, which you can't find in big-name stores.
