Title: Functional and Fashionable
Review: This mortar is a very nice size for home use, big enough for crushing/grinding plenty of spice and still easy on your counter space. Both pieces are a nice, heavy weight, and I get little to no dust/chalk even with heavier grinding and harder whole spices. Cleans up nicely with a quick hand wash; some spices can leave a faint stain, but vinegar or baking soda helps with that. This piece is also attractive enough to leave out, and actually looks very decorative on the counter when not in use--mine lives right next to my knife block and looks very nice in the kitchen. A bigger unit might be needed for restuarant/catering use, but this one is perfect in the home kitchen.
