This elegant little mortar and pestle set is great for concocting and preparing your own herbal remedies, alchemical recipes, and ritual blends. Measuring approximately 3 1/2" in diameter, the ceramic mortar is glazed in a glossy black finish with an interior that is coarse and white, providing just enough texture to grind your materials well. Similarly, the 4" long pestle has a glossy black handle end in a white, coarse end allowing these two gritty surfaces to help grind your materials without so much elbow grease.
