Mortar bowls specially designed for the pounding of a pestle. The side walls are thicker as well as the bottom. A thicker bottom will withstand the grinding of the pestle as well as provide more stability for the bowl. The inside lip of the bowl is slightly rounded.
The pestle is 9-10" with a diameter of 1.75 to 2 inches on the grinding end--the pestle is a significant piece of wood! It is thick and order sturdy.
Bowl Diameter: 10-11 inches
Height: 3-4 inches
Finish: food safe mineral oil and beeswax
