Handmade Mini Brass Mortar & Pestle: Premium Quality Spice Grinder, Herb Crusher, and Kitchen Essential

This is small - not much bigger than an egg cup - but it's for grinding small quantities of herbs and spices, such as saffron. It does appear to be proper brass, which made for a lovely, impressive yet affordable 19th wedding anniversary present. Also makes a nice bell sound when you donk the pestle against the side!

Too small

This review is for the mini brass mortar and pestle - and I mention this because it's quite a confusing array of objects that are available to purchase above.It is mini, it's a tiny little thing about two inches high by one and half across. Mine is not entirely like the picture in that there is a small stalk, like a wine goblet. The exterior is well polished and the interior is dull and slightly roughened. It is brass and the body rings true, like a bell. The pestle is about three inches long and similar in appearance to the interior of the mortar.It is small, so it's good for tiny amounts of spices. It's marketed for saffron and it does a good job of breaking up the dried strands. I kept my fingers around the base to stop it rolling around and it worked well.

So fragile.

It does not work for saffron as stated. Its cheap and tacky but looks okay in the photo. Rubbish item and Amazon should stop selling this item and similar items that dont work

I knew this mortar and pestle would be small but wasn’t expecting a miniature! Absolutely ridiculous, only thing this could be is an ornament. The pestle looks like a screwdriver, definitely not something for practical use.
