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

Costco has a larger one for $20
Why? Porcelain isn't that expensive and this only weighs .05 lbs.
Just saw it yesterday. Costco model is HUUUGE.

Haha, yeah it is. And heavy. I bought one and haven't used it yet cause it's so large.
Why? Because you are clueless or?...

$28. Was it on sale for $20?
No it was $20 in store. Online it might be 28 unless they raised the price.
