Hope this helps. **Q: is the interior smooth or grooved?** A: It is Grooved, which makes cleaning sometimes difficult , but nothing a good vinegar rinse wont get out. **Q: where is this made?** A: Either the webpage is wrong or manufacturer changed because I just bought this Aug 2022 and the box says made in china. I specifically purchased this mortar and pestle because it said it was made in Taiwan. Very disappointed. Would love to hear from seller. **Q: How deep is the inside of the mortar? Is it rough on the inside? Thanks!** A: It's about 2 inches deep and it is rough on the inside The tip of the pestle is also rough ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, solid and aesthetic *by A***L on December 24, 2025* Great quality, solid and aesthetic. Heavier than expected ( but In a good way) I use it for herbs but thinking of getting a second one for other uses. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice! *by R***G on December 11, 2025* Nice unit, works as expected. Nice looking too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Where Has This Been All My Life...?? : D *by .***. on October 8, 2017* Where has this thing been all my life...?? I am a Pink Mediterranean Sea Salt Junkie... lol And this is the perfect Grinder for it. I buy it coarse & grind it up into all different kinds of textures. It really brings out that gentle crunchiness Pink Sea Salt brings to the table. I've seen the mixed reviews here, & if you feel yours really was not made right, I would definitely send it back for an exchange. Mine didn't arrive perfect, because these are hand crafted, but it didn't arrive with the glaring defects in workmanship that others are experiencing. If it doesn't look right, you should be able to exchange it for one that is. Mine looks, operates, & fits together fine. Some people are concerned that they are eating finely ground marble along with their salts or spices. I see what they mean, but there's probably actually more of that same material in my Sea Salts, than is coming off of my Grinder. According to the Wikipedia, "Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams, and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)." Calcium Carbonate is commonly used in Calcium supplements & dietary antacid tablets. So like Sea Salts...it is organic. If you don't like the texture of your ground spices or salts, practice with it. You'll get better at using it over time. When you grind, work things around in small circles around the curve of the bowl. The more I experiment with mine, I get a better feel for it, and the nicer & more interesting my textures are coming out. The one con I have for this item is that it arrived with a major crack in the marble that runs down one side. It is otherwise well-made, but I hope it does not crack all the way across & break apart over time. I'm not exchanging it because other than this it is well-made. ## Frequently Bought Together - HIC Kitchen Mortar and Pestle Spice Herb Grinder Pill Crusher Set, Solid Carrara Marble - chouyatou Women's Casual Long Sleeve Button Down Loose Striped Cotton Maxi Shirt Dress --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/19926784-hic-kitchen-tall-mortar-and-pestle-set-solid-carrara-marble](https://www.desertcart.in/products/19926784-hic-kitchen-tall-mortar-and-pestle-set-solid-carrara-marble) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
