For cons, the finish of the object is a bit disappointing: there are "wounds" at the foot of the mortar, ie that the stone is not very polished in places (or received a shock ...?) and that these injuries appear light gray (like the inside of the mortar) instead of black anthracite gray stone properly polished. It will give the impression that I have damaged the object. Not good. The pestle also has some similar but much less visible traces. It spoils the appearance "deco object" that I wanted.
Last observation: the mortar is chipped on the upper edge. Pretty bad. Especially since I do not see me return the weight of the object (and therefore the cost of postage). There is a downright piece of stone that just get ... Disappointed ... Opinion of the seller?
I have not tested yet been otherwise, but I do not doubt otherwise, it fills its role! As advised by other buyers, it will flush the front. I hope he will not wear too fast and I did not find her in the food ...
