Catmint Black Marble Mortar and Pestle
Couldn't load pickup availability
A weighty black marble mortar and pestle that sits on a counter as both a tool and a sculptural accent.
Keep this mortar and pestle on a kitchen counter, open shelf or bar to use for grinding or to display as a sculptural piece. The bowl and pestle are both black marble with faint gray veining and a polished surface.
The bowl is 8 in across and 6 in high, with a wide base for stability. The pestle fits inside and rests against the rim. The thick walls and heavy base absorb impact, so ingredients stay in the bowl while you work.

Planning notes
Black marble pairs with white countertops, wood boards and brass. Keep it where you can reach it, and the weight will keep it steady while you work.
It is heavy, so avoid placing it on glass shelves or thin surfaces. In a restaurant or open kitchen, keep it at the pass or on a bar for quick herb and spice work. At home, a counter spot near the stove makes it easy to reach, and its low profile lets it sit comfortably under wall cabinets.
Who this is not for
- Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
- Not for acidic or very hot contents left to sit.
- Not for dropping: marble can chip.
Care
Rinse with warm water and dry. Hand wash only. Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive pads. Dry it fully before storing, and avoid grinding very acidic ingredients for long periods, which can dull the polish.
