Hand worked from natural stone in Mexico, this early to mid 1900s molcajete has a wonderfully rough, deeply textured surface and classic three-footed shape. We would leave it right on the kitchen counter filled with fresh avocados or limes, or simply display it for its beautifully primitive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-worked natural basalt stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e early to mid 1900s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\" Dia x 4\" H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e antique\/vintage; wear consistent with age and use; natural stone variations, rough texture, patina, and hand-worked imperfections present (see photos); molcajete mortar only, no pestle included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e decorative stone bowl, kitchen display, traditional mortar, or countertop vessel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSourcing:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand selected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e substantial three-footed Mexican molcajete with a deeply textured stone surface and wonderfully primitive, sculptural form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we especially love about this one is the texture. Every surface shows the irregular character of the stone and the way it was worked, giving it so much more presence than a newly made kitchen accessory. The dark, earthy coloring looks especially good mixed with old wood, pottery, copper, and other natural materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more collected vessels and organic materials in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/debrahalllifestyle.com\/collections\/stone-home-decor-vintage-marble-hand-carved-accents\"\u003eVintage Marble\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/debrahalllifestyle.com\/collections\/vintage-stoneware-clay-pottery-handmade-earthenware\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/debrahallifestyle.com\/collections\/vintage-stoneware-clay-pottery-handmade-earthenware\"\u003e, \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/debrahalllifestyle.com\/collections\/vintage-stoneware-clay-pottery-handmade-earthenware\"\u003eClay Pottery \u0026amp; Handmade Earthenware\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molcajete mortar only; no pestle is included.
