Glamorous and practical, the Joseph Joseph Orb brings a futuristic style to the ancient pestle and mortar. The sleek porcelain globe is formed by two separate bowls that allow the lime green pestle to peek out. The large spherical bowl is ideal for the heavy duty grinding of many spices, while the smaller lid is perfect for hand-held crushing. Made from a vitrified porcelain, the Orb is durable and impervious to stains and odour. The pestle is also carefully weighted and features a soft-grip handle, to make grinding comfortable. A designer pestle and mortar for contemporary kitchens, the Joseph Joseph Orb is £30 from the Joseph Joseph online store.
