Oh that is not the problem. The problem is there are special limitations for the background that restrict it to an item related to your chosen artisan skill. However my skill makes consumables instead of weapons and armor.
The Apprentice of the Masters doesn't give you the Heirloom Talent, it gives you a FINE item appropriate to your artisan. Otherwise, it acts as Heirloom (In terms of the prestige it gives, the bonuses for having it, and the penalties for losing it).
Therefore, a "Fine Mortar and Pestle" is appropriate that gives a +1 on your Craft checks.
