A teak mortar carved the old way, hollowed from one block with a handle left on the side, worn smooth by hands and time.

Why We Chose It

A lesung is the Indonesian mortar used for pounding rice and spices, and this one keeps that working shape without the work. The surface is honest teak, dry and pale with the odd crack and tool mark, which is exactly what we want next to adobe walls. Use it for a trailing plant in a nursery pot, a bundle of dried grasses, or nothing at all.

How We'd Style It

On a windowsill with the other planters, or on a console in Desert Living with one branch of dried yucca.

Details

  • Solid teak, hand-carved from a single block
  • Integrated side handle
  • Decorative vessel with no drainage hole, so keep plants in a nursery pot
  • Handcrafted in Indonesia
