mortar corin mellor | large

archaic and steadfast: a spice mixture ras el hanout, ground almonds or a herb pesto - with mortars made of granite it is easy to bring hard materials into the desired consistency. the dead weight and the rough surface of the work surfaces make it easier to grind and crush the ingredients. the outer surface of the vessel and the handle of the pestle are polished to a greasy gloss: the composition of the extremely hard natural stone of feldspar, quartz and mica comes into effect in the smooth surface.
