{"product_id":"time-worn-hand-carved-turkish-stone-mortar","title":"Time-Worn Hand-Carved Turkish Stone Mortar","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating in Turkey, this antique mortar was hand-carved from stone and made for the rituals of everyday life. Its deep central well was shaped for pounding and grinding grains, herbs, spices and other ingredients by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat began as a practical object has become beautifully sculptural with age. Years of use have softened the limestone, rounding its edges and leaving a richly textured surface of warm, earthy tones. Chisel marks, natural variations in the stone, and the irregularity of its form give each mortar a character that could only have developed through making, handling, and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow removed from its original purpose, it has the quiet presence of an ancient architectural fragment. Display it on its own, use it as a vessel for collected objects, or add a small plant with a protective liner. A one-of-a-kind piece of Turkish material history, made beautiful by the life it has already lived.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kasa Petra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46920329461921,"sku":"KP-00203","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/2346\/9217\/files\/Lokasyon2000pxKare468.jpg?v=1789128535","url":"https:\/\/kasapetra.com\/products\/time-worn-hand-carved-turkish-stone-mortar","provider":"Kasa Petra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
