Product Description
The plants and butterflies that make up Botanic Garden are from the exquisitely hand colored illustrations in the finest natural history books of the early 19th Century. Reproduced with true craftsmanship, these flowers have the same brilliance and life they had when first painted over 150 years ago. The unglazed interior of this piece allows the friction needed for grinding to take place.

Harvest the herb garden for dining pleasure and create a flavorful blend of ingredients with this quality mortar and pestle, handpainted with an array of blossoms from Portmeirion's Botanic Garden line. Perfect for crushing cloves, grinding sage, rosemary, and thyme together, or blending a pesto of basil, garlic, and pine nuts, this enduring kitchen tool adds a professional touch to infusing spices. Inspired by 19th-century botanical illustrations, artist Susan Williams-Ellis designed this lovely pattern featuring floral and butterfly imagery with signature leaf motif borders, even accenting the pestle's handle. Coordinated with the classic collection of Botanic Garden dinnerware, bakeware, and serveware, this item makes a great gift for the discriminating cook seeking the freshest tastes. Oven-, microwave-, dishwasher- and freezer-safe, this import from Great Britain comes in assorted motifs and colors. --Roberta Cruger
