A Japanese-inspired suribachi mortar bowl, handthrown high-quality stoneware with a ridged interior that cuts and grinds herbs, spices, and sesame seeds rather than simply crushing them — releasing more flavor with less effort.

Susan loves custom commissions — a specific size, a different pattern, or something entirely new. If you can draw it, she can probably make it.
