This is a suribachi (mortar) by Motoshige. It's a ceramic suribachi, characterized by its radial grooved pattern, and comes with a surikogi (pestle). I purchased several for a herb salt workshop, but I'm selling them because I didn't use them. Used only once. - Type: Suribachi (mortar) - Material: Ceramic - Accessories: Surikogi (pestle) - Design: Radial grooved pattern Diameter: 15 cm Height: Approximately 9 cm I think you'll appreciate its design and ease of use. It also has a non-slip base, making it easy to grind. I don't see any scratches, but please understand that this is a used item. Thank you for looking.
