This petite pinewood vessel is an early 20th century mortar once used daily in a provincial northern Chinese kitchen to grind herbs and spices. The rustic container was hand-turned to an hourglass form and has a simple pattern of incised and raised horizontal bands. We love it in the gallery filled with sand to burn palo santo or incense.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
