Marble Mortar

This marble mortar from the town of Estremoz in south east Portugal, is hand-carved with a bold, faceted form and beautifully timeworn surfaces. Its creamy tone and soft edges reveal over a century of use, with subtle variations in texture and patina that can only come from age. Once utilitarian, now sculptural, it stands as a quiet testament to craft and endurance.

“Looks ancient, feels modern — a grounding piece for any shelf or table.”

Portugal, circa 1820
