White Motoshige Mortar Bowl

This ceramic mortar bowl in white is both functional and beautiful. Made out of traditional Iwami clay, the bowl is scored in such a way to bring ingredients to the center of the bowl while mixed. This efficient design saves time and strength while mixing. The silicone base of this mortar bowl prevents it from moving around while in use. Perfect for crushing nuts and seeds, making salad dressing, grinding herbs and spices, and even making guacamole. Beautiful as a serving vessel once your grinding is complete!
