Mini Olive Wood Mortar and Pestle, 9 cm
Each piece is handmade from natural materials, so grain, color, and finish are unique to every piece. The photos show the exact piece you will receive.
Details
A little round mortar turned by hand from solid Tunisian olive wood, with a matching olive wood pestle. The mortar has a soft, squat shape with a thick rolled rim. Most of it is rich in burl, the small dark "eyes" typical of olive root wood, while one side opens into bold honey and brown swirls. The pestle is carved from a lighter, straight-grained piece, with a flared head for crushing and a rounded end that sits comfortably in the hand.
- Size: mortar approx. 9 cm in diameter
- Included: mortar and pestle
- Just right for a clove of garlic, a pinch of peppercorns, salt or seeds, and small enough to bring to the table
The photos show the exact piece you will receive, from every side. Every piece is made by hand, so the grain and shape vary from one mortar to another. Handmade in Tunisia, checked by us in Italy.
Care: wash by hand with warm water and mild soap and dry straight away; do not soak or put in the dishwasher. Now and then, refresh the wood with a little food-safe oil.
Materials + Care
Our wood pieces are crafted from solid olive wood, prized for its density, tight grain, and natural durability; ceramic-tile pieces are finished with hand-set, kiln-fired tiles set in an olive wood frame.
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water and dry immediately — do not soak or use the dishwasher. Every few months, condition wood surfaces with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to keep the grain from drying out, and keep pieces away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight.
