This sculptural and highly functional spice grinder brings beauty and elegance to the user's kitchen. The "full contact" nature of the pestle as it mates seamlessly with the mortar improves grinding. And, the porcelain pestle is shaped to nestle comfortably in the palm of your hand, begging the user to interact with the design. The softness of the forms is juxtaposed to the extreme hardness of the fired porcelain, one of the hardest and most durable industrialized materials. The grinder can be found in high-end design stores worldwide, further attesting to its appeal.
