Lava Stone Bird Hand Painted Molcajete Mortar and Pestle

Hand painted with a folkloric bird and flowers by Mexican artisans, this mortar and its pestle are crafted of lava stone. A volcanic molcajete is the chef’s choice for grinding spices and herbs or making dips – manually grinding with stone releases the aromas and flavors of the ingredients like nothing else. Improving with use, this kitchen gift looks beautiful on the counter with its vibrant multicolor artwork popping from a charcoal ground.
