Steel holds nothing. No oil, no scent, no color carried over, so Tuesday's mugwort stays out of Friday's rose and a pale flower comes out of the bowl exactly the shade it went in. For anyone blending their own powders, that is the difference between a clean blend and a muddy one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt three and a half inches it is the smallest mortar we stock and by far the easiest to live with.
