A beautiful antique marble mortar with a collection of four pestles from Chanteduc, the home of Patricia and Walter Wells in Provence. Two pestles are fully made with wood, the third has a wooden handle with a white porcelain end for grinding, and the fourth is a yellow stone Patricia and Walter found in a vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Patricia uses these classic French tools in the kitchen during her cooking class when making Monday night "soupe au pistou".
