Meaning "Crushed" in Finnish, Murska is a mortar and pestle that has been designed with timeless style and superior function in mind. Doubling the work area but saving on space, it consists of a small, porcelain bowl as well as larger, wooden one which has been treated with flax oil yet retains its natural grain. The inner basin of the porcelain bowl is unglazed to provide an ideal surface for grinding. Sharing this same key texture at the base, the pestle is ergonomically shaped so that it is easy to grip and grind with power. When not being used to prepare pesto or crush shells, this beautiful and useful tool can be left on the countertop as a conversation piece.
Care: Porcelain bowl is dishwasher safe. Wood may be hand washed by hand using a damp cloth followed by a dry towel.

This mortar and pestle set is beautifully designed. It's not just great looking, it's very functional in having a pestle with a large head and an easy to grip handle. Pestles on some sets have too small a head, and they tend to just push herbs around, rather than grinding them. This pestle is also easy to grip with its T-shaped handle. All around, this is one of my favorite kitchen items.

While the entire piece is much larger than we would have liked, the pestle shape is much easier on your hand than the standard club-shape.
