This wonderful stoneware pestle and mortar is not only simple domestic elegance, it’s practical and comfortable to use. The thick chunky wooden handle comfortably supports the large stoneware head of the pestle. The mortar has a light stoneware texture on the inside and a smooth creamy pastel glaze on the outside; creating a sensuous mix of subtle textures. The pestle’s broad head gives you a large surface area for grinding your spices, while the natural stoneware texture gives a slight grip that keeps those awkward seeds from running away. All this means less work is needed to add the full-flavour of freshly ground spices to your meals. With a convenient pouring spout that doubles as a pestle rest, the Debenhams’ pestle and mortar offers superior function behind effortless grace. A mere £12 from Debenhams.
