These primitive grinders
have been around
for a very, very long time.
The oldest ones known
date back to 1550 BC
and have been found in Egypt.
How cool is that?
| Some are heavy bronze.... |
| Some are wooden ..... |
| Some are carved stone or marble.... |

| Some are cast iron..... |

| This one is porcelain. (Source) |
| There are some made of shiny brass. |
| As for me, I prefer the antique soapstone sets with partially wooden handles. |
How about you?
