Please note, this is for illustration purposes only. It's important to understand that mortars and pestles, especially those made from natural materials like stone or granite, can have variations in colors and sizes. Each piece is unique due to the natural properties of the materials used. These variations add character to the kitchen tool and don't affect its functionality. When purchasing a mortar and pestle, it's common to expect these slight differences, and they don't impact its ability to perform its intended tasks in the kitchen.
