If you are interested in purchasing a mortal and pestle, and wish to use it for anything, do not purchase this item... it is only meant to be decorative... I learned the hard way after washing it and the paint wore away... a beautiful little set, but only that.

2.0 out of 5 stars cute, but not very functional, January 12, 2009

It is pretty, but small and doesn't work very well. You would be better off getting a little bigger one that is heavier. The wood doesn't seem to be a very effective crushing tool.

It's very nice looking, but a bit small. I don't think it's to be used every day. Only for show.
