Fox Run Marble Mortar and Pestle Set, Black, 4.5"

This is a great little mortar and pestle. I use it to grind my saffron threads, and it works perfectly. It also is a cute little addition to have sitting on my counter. It is always close at hand and available for any spices I need to quickly grind while cooking. The weight is perfect and provides a good grip. It is really solid!

Nice quality for crushing up pills

First of all, it wasn't broken! I could feel it rolling around in the product box and I just thought, "oh, that's the problem." Looks like somebody doesn't read their own reviews about their product. Or they just like re-shipping for damaged items. Well, I got lucky. As for the product, it is better than I ever expected it to be. I was done with all the pill pulverizers that claimed they could grind something into a fine powder. I'm not dextrous enough to use a standard mortar and pestle so this was like a dream come true. It crushed my pills into powder in minutes, and these are some crunchy pills to crush. It left a few small, miniscule chinks upon close examination. The next day I experimented with it and stumbled upon a method that produced clean, consistent, powder. It was so fine you could rub the debris on a baby's behind like baby powder. Because I bought this, I am going to get maybe 4 hours of my life back per week, not having to resort to my self crush and grind technique. It works great, it's a functional decoration, and it gets the job done quickly and easily. The rough interior and pestle surface leave some debris to clear off, but it takes about a minute to clear them off. That's the thing about real powder, it does that quite often. I just can't praise this product enough. Original : 7/26/2012 Edit: 8/20/2012 The more you learn about this thing, the better you get your rhythm and positioning down, the better it gets. Now that I've gotten this thing broken in I'm pulverizing 4 rock hard pills at a time in less than five minutes. The powder is actually getting finer and finer. The presence of chunks is almost null. The process is so relaxing too. You don't have to put your wrist into it, just find your technique and sit back. Every pill crusher should have one. It's also a great decoration.

Always wanted a mortar/pestle set and found one I really liked with color to match our kitchen. A nice heavy marble set that really works. The price for a one time purchase was reasonable considering the material is made from marble and is sturdy and weighted enough. I don't foresee any breakage happening from its use as its so easy to use in the hand and serves a functional purpose as a pill crusher and for raw dried spices for cooking. I'm very satisifed with this item.

Small mortar and pestle - dimensions are as described in product listing. I already have a large set and wanted a smaller/lighter one for grinding 1-2 servings worth of peppercorns and smaller portions of dry spices. Only (minor complaint) with this item is that the mortar is a light sea foam kind of green color with grey tones, and the pestle is the very dark emerald-y green tones I expected from the product photo. I expect some variation in natural stone products, but none of the colors/veining in these two pieces match each other so it doesn’t really look like it’s from the same set. 5 stars for quality and functionality Docked 1 star for coloration/consistency within the set (if the colors were consistent with each other whether light or dark I would not have taken a star away)

So I needed a mortar and pestle for grinding herbs and did not have a large budget so I went on Amazon to look and found this amazing thing. The weight is pretty nice is weighs enough to know it’s high quality but is light enough to carry in loose athletic shorts!!! The stability of the bowl is pretty good aswell it sounds beautiful. The grinding is pretty good as the rough cut the bowl is made with gives it the perfect texture to crush herbs. It’s super easy to clean and takes around 1-3 minutes to do so.

I have a larger one but so heavy. This is perfect size, making it easier to clean. Pretty can leave on counter, I use 2-3 times a day.

Great looking great materials. I suggest that you check the size and make sure that's the right size for you to me.It was too small but I kept it because it does look great , haven't used it yet

first one was broke replacement sent very good

El producto me llegó en buenas condiciones, no estaba roto y estaba resistente. Llevo casi dos meses con el producto y la verdad estoy muy satisfecho, compre el pequeño y creo que es muy útil para moler diversas especias, a pesar de que está pequeño es algo pesado pero muy resistente, excelente producto

想像より満遍なく挽けず角度を変えながら挽いてます。 料理に必要な1回分だけ出来るのは良いです、

لقد صدمت بالحجم انه صغير جدا انا مستأه 😔😖

This is by far the cutest and tiniest mortar grinder I have ever purchased. I did want something small. It did not disappoint. I mean. It was only about $20 with taxes so I was not expecting something huge. The quality is good. It’s worth more than what I paid. I’m pleased. Works well to grind my dog raw beef bones and marrow after baking and drying. The grinder turns the bones into a fine calcium dust to be added to his homemade fresh cooked food. I have no regrets with this tiny purchase. I actually love it. Takes very little room in my dog cupboard.
