One-Of-A-Kind

This little treasure has us swooning! This rare terracotta mortar, with its smooth, curved form and warm clay tones, once lived in French kitchens where it helped grind herbs and spices for family meals. Today, Sylvie loves it as a unique paperweight on a desk, a bowl for keys in the entryway, or simply styled as an earthy decorative piece. Only one available, exactly as pictured.
