HIC Kitchen Flying Saucer Mortar and Pestle, Fine-White Porcelain

Great value and solid pieces for small amounts of grinding. I use it as my pigment grinder before adding the liquid. Good sized, functional and the shape is good for getting in the crevices. makes mixing paint a lot simpler and less wasteful.

I mainly use this as a pill crusher to add vitamins or pills to my smoothies or vitamin drinks. It works wonderfully and looks cute on the counter.

Excellent for grinding my pets meds

I bought this to crush the dog's pills. Works exceptionally well for such small items.

This is a pretty basic item, and it was without careful consideration that I purchased this. It's an imperfect piece of pottery that's great if you a) don't mind its tiny stature; b) are okay with having to spend more time reloading it with all it's spit out while using it; c) can live with the unknown lead content of the unglazed inner mortar/pestle surface; and c) don't need the two pieces to be precise compliments of each other.The two pieces are cut from one original one; it's been a minute since I've made something like this, but it is so hard to get them to perfectly mate after finishing. The pestle is not flush with the mortar, thus the grinding is Skippy and requires doing over the bits that inevitably shoot out while using. And it's so small that grinding any quantity of spices or herbs is time consuming. It is adorable, though.

As described.

Great for mashing meds for cat or dog, or humans. First one I ordered was chipped and it was immediately replaced.

This isn’t even good for crushing medication. Way too hard to use. Too small and the handle is impossible to grip while grinding.
