I started making these after visiting Thailand where they play a big role in the cooking culture.

They make great present for those who love to be in the kitchen. I use mine often: for grinding up spices and making curry pastes or pestos.

This is a good sized one. Suitable for making a decent batch of pesto or curry paste in.

The interior of the mortar and the pestle are unglazed to help with grinding. I make the bases of pestles solid and then the handles are hollow so they have a pleasant weight. The mortar is thrown thickly too… to ensure they’ll last a lifetime.

My pots are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. I high fire them until they’re vitrified, around 2350°F.

If a pot you like is sold out, email me and I can make you a similar one! I also take commissions of all sorts; please email me if you have an idea.

I ship with USPS and UPS and send tracking information after sending each order.

I ship internationally; it’s no problem, but it may require a little extra postage. It’s hard to estimate as it changes from country to country. For international orders, I will contact you if there is a discrepancy between what you pay and the actual cost.
