A beautifully hand-carved vintage mortar and pestle made from natural banded onyx stone. The mortar measures 9cm high by 9cm across, with the pestle 10cm long by 3.5cm wide.
The stone has striking layers of caramel, ochre, cream and rust tones, with natural mineral inclusions that give it real character. On one side you’ll notice a metallic-looking mineral vein – this is not damage, but a unique feature formed naturally within the onyx. It catches the light beautifully and highlights the one-of-a-kind quality of this piece.
Perfect for grinding herbs, spices and salts, or simply as a decorative piece of natural stone for the home. Each onyx mortar and pestle is unique, and this one has a warm earthy presence that makes it stand out.
Condition: In very good vintage condition. No chips or cracks, only natural variations in the stone surface from its formation.
Dimensions:
Mortar: 9cm high × 9cm diameter
Pestle: 10cm long × 3.5cm diameter
A timeless and practical piece for kitchen or display.
