Antik Taş Havan (Antique Stone Mortar)

About the Item

This antique stone mortar, dating back to turn of the century, is sourced from Central Anatolia where it has been used by generations of families to create the flavor that marks traditional local cuisine. Over 100 years old, this piece is made from durable stone with a wide, deep bowl. The mortar & pestle has been used since ancient times to crush, grind, and mix spices, grains, and herbs to flavor food, infuse elixirs with medicinal properties, and add material form to magical spells. While the mortar & pestle are still key tools in Turkish kitchens, these one-of-a-kind pieces make delightful catchalls & countertop conversation starters in a modern home. *One-of-a-kind and marked by time, each of these pieces will show patina and natural imperfections. From oil stains to oxidation, we consider these alterations to be portals into a time long ago.This antique stone mortar, dating back to turn of the century, is sourced from Central Anatolia where it has been used by generations of families to create the flavor that marks traditional local cuisine.
