About the Item

This large wooden mortar dates to the late 19th century and was originally used for crushing rice, grain, spices and other foodstuffs. Carved from a single tree trunk, the mortar has a smoothly worn interior bowl from years of use. The exterior is smooth to the touch with a burnished patina, enlivened by a beautiful, swirling grain pattern and antique blade marks. Today, the large rice mortar brings organic texture and form to modern interiors as an unexpected catch-all or a cachepot for houseplants.
