This weathered, 19th-century carved stone mortar, originally used in a French kitchen for traditional tasks like making pesto, has been beautifully repurposed for modern use. The mortar, with its substantial weight and rustic charm, features a deep, hand-carved basin that speaks to its utilitarian origins.

A hole has since been created in the base, allowing this historical piece to serve as a unique planter or a striking decorative element in any garden or interior space. The weathered stone and simple, yet elegant design make it a versatile addition to your home, blending functionality with a rich sense of history.
