This handcrafted Mortar Grinder and Pestle are perfect for crushing your herbs and seasoning. The sumptuous hand-carved quality plus ultimate utility make this the ideal gift for the gourmet on your list.

Not dishwasher or microwave safe. 

Treat by occasionally rubbing food-safe cooking oil onto the spoons to keep the wood from drying out and to bring out the natural grain. 

Because of the handcrafted nature of these items, each one is unique and may vary from the picture.

Who Made It: Harkiss Designs works with talented men and women in Uganda and Kenya. Harkiss was started by Harriet Zaffoni, a Ugandan woman who became a New York designer. Her aim is to provide East African women with the assistance they need to turn their generations-old artisan tradition into a bright, new economic future for their families and communities. Her first-hand knowledge of the communities and the indigenous resources inform her designs, while her experience as a New York businesswoman gives her an insider’s understanding of the styles and accessories most in demand in the American marketplace.
