What is a marble mortar used for?
A marble mortar, with the aid of a pestle, is used for grinding spices, nuts and herbs. The smooth non-porous surface of the mortar means less of your ingredients are lost to cracks and crevices. You’ll find a variety of marble mortar and pestles from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
