Many of you knew this object belongs in the kitchen, but @sarahhoey was the only one to guess it correctly. The orbital shape of this porcelain pestle and mortar fits perfectly in your hand for easy use. You can use the main mortar to crush and grind larger ingredients, and convert the lid to a handheld mortar for smaller herbs and spices.

This close relationship compounds the negative effects of extinction. The extinction of either member in such a relationship would mean almost certain extinction of the other member as well. Some endangered plant species are so because of shrinking pollinator populations.

In ancient Egypt chairs appear to have been of great richness and splendor. Fashioned of ebony and ivory, or of carved and gilded wood, they were covered with costly materials, magnificent patterns and supported upon representations of the legs of beasts or the figures of captives.

Well I think even the first people in this world know how to use this and they are the first people to discove this.

I've seen oriental porcelain designed mortar and pestle. It looks exactly the same with the picture above. They said that it is considered as one of the strongest material for utensils and kitchen wares.

My mom passed chinese blue and white porcelain mortar and pestle as an heirloom. I'm afraid I might break it that I don't use it, instead it sits on our China cabinet.
