A handmade stoneware garlic grater, thrown on the wheel by Lex in her studio. Glazed in Calm Seas: a sea green that pools beautifully in the hand-carved grating pattern.

Rub a peeled garlic clove over the raised ridges to make a fresh, smooth paste in seconds. Then add a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and some herbs to mix a dressing or dip right in the dish. You can also brush the paste onto bread or straight into your cooking. When it's not grating, it makes a handy spoon rest by the hob.

Every piece is glazed and fired by hand, so no two are exactly alike. It makes a lovely gift for anyone who loves to cook. Why not pair it with a matching LEXE Ceramics mug or spoon rest?
