Milton Brook Pestle and Mortar Small Size 0

very nice item

It was just fine but Size 0 is smaller than expected.... Not helped when the description on Amazon was incorrect

This little combo is just as I remember from the Laboratory - perfectly proportioned, perfect weight, and perfect performance.The inside surface is rough in order to prevent the contents being ground from skidding sideways under pressure and the grinding process gets swiftly to the fineness I needed.It grinds very efficiently with little effort and isn't prone to the problems caused by over designing - which often occurs with "traditional" tools.I got it in order to crush cat treats (which were absolutely adored by the potenial patient) to disguise tablets I was to administer to my pet cat.The tablets I had to administer were the kind that hadn't to be crushed or broken, and were to be given whole.Absolutely ANY alternative means was to be sought to replace the "routine" vet. procedure for giving tablets to normally placid cats.Only those who have been there will know!After grinding the treats to powder a small application of egg white diluted with a little water provided the glue to bind the treat powder into a coating around the offending tablet. Allowed to dry and handled with care in the palm of the hand and, with added treats to surround it, each coated tablet was taken with much gusto - thus alleviating any potential distress to the cat and blood loss for me.A palm soaking with cat slobber is a small price to pay.
