Amazing matching garlic (spice) duo of a 4-5 clove garlic keeper and a mortar and pestle to hand grind garlic and other spices. Made by an artisan ceramist in the USA. Nearly mint condition and very well made. The keeper boasts a 4-hole body providing great air ventilation to keep garlic cloves from molding from moisture accumulation. Garlic keepers are known to store bulbs on the counter and prevent from spoiling for up to 6 months. The mortar is the perfect size for grinding spices and the pestle is brand new and made of durable ceramic as well. The "garlic-ware" pottery is coated with a glossy and textured Celedon glaze in the color pattern Skyscape (blue with white). Perfect for any and all garlic lovers!
