Apothecary crushing tools
A mortar and pestle is a tool for grinding substances by hand—the mortar is a bowl, the pestle a blunt club-shaped implement pressed and rotated against it.
Used in cooking to crush spices or make pesto, and in pharmacy to compound medications.
The phrase "mortar pestle" without "and" typically appears in product listings or searches: mortar pestle set, marble mortar pestle.
