This sculptural and highly functional spice grinder brings beauty and elegance to the user’s kitchen. The "full contact" nature of the pestle as it mates seamlessly with the mortar improves grinding. And, the porcelain pestle is shaped to nestle comfortably in the palm of your hand, begging the user to interact with the design. The softness of the forms is juxtaposed to the extreme hardness of the fired porcelain, one of the hardest and most durable industrialized materials.

MINT Inc is a design collective founded by Colombian Alberto Mantilla and British Anthony Baxter and Scott Henderson. The company was formed simply to create an outlet for creative ideas that are generated by the three founding designers in the course of their professional careers when a client commission may not be present. The MINT name was chosen because "mint" connotes freshness as in the literal sense of the mint plant, but also because it has industrial meanings, as in the place or source of manufacture and invention. Mint is "Refreshing".
