This unusual rectangular tray was originally used as a mortar for grinding and removing the husks of cereal grains. The multiple recesses provided a convenient way to prepare and store multiple grains and spices for a meal. The tray's trough-like form and richly aged texture bring a rustic charm to the home as a planter, vide poche, or centerpiece.

What They're Saying

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
