Is it a bowl or what...
The combo is not as expected. The pestle seems oversized for bowl/ mortar. Pestle diameter is a very large diameter and uncomfortable to use. The pottery bowl is attractive, materials used seem good quality.
Aesthetics over function
The item is very beautiful and the spout is a great idea. However, whenever I try to grind spices, the spices fly out everywhere and very little gets grinded. It works well when muddling soft foods (like making guacamole), but a basic spoon can get the job done for that. I did give the rating an extra star because the mortar serves great as a mixing bowl, albeit it is not it's original purpose.
A+ for shape and aesthetics
Nice and deep with a great sized pestle for making sure you can really get in there. Defiantly great for mashes!
