Teak Pestle & Mortar - Medium, 11 x 11.5cm Mortar / 15cm Pestle

A medium teak pestle and mortar handmade in Bali - mortar 11 x 11.5cm, pestle 15cm - the balance point in the teak range, with the capacity of a working tool and the proportions that suit most kitchen or altar surfaces without overwhelming either.

The 15cm pestle gives enough leverage for serious grinding whilst the mortar's depth handles both dry and semi-moist preparations. Equally at home grinding spices for supper or working herbs into a ritual preparation, this is a tool that lives between both practices and serves both without compromise. Java teak, long considered among the finest in the world, carries a natural oil within the grain that makes it inherently resistant to water and decay - it requires minimal upkeep and, with a little care, will last through decades of regular use. The warm, close grain makes it a piece worth leaving on the worktop or the altar rather than tucking out of sight.
