Porcelain and ceramic are practically the same thing but porcelain is usually used to describe a very finely grained exterior that produces a glossy finish/feel. You don't want a glossy finish on a pestle and mortar because you need a rough texture to help facilitate grinding ingredients. That's what pestles and mortals excel at-- creating friction without requiring much force.

Maybe it is porcelain and it just sucks at its job without people realizing. Just seems odd to be in the pestle and mortar-making business and going out of your way to produce an inferior product when an unfinished ceramic would do the job better

Nice deal. I wanted a larger marble one, but this might be better since it wouldn't stain and easier to clean

Why? Porcelain isn't that expensive and this only weighs .05 lbs.

No it was $20 in store. Online it might be 28 unless they raised the price.

Anyone concerned about porcelain chips in whatever you're grinding?

Right size and price with good reviews and made from fine-quality porcelain, and that's more than good enough for me. In for 1, thanks OP!
