Small Antique 1900s Solid Brass Apothecary Mortars and Pestles - Set of 2

About the Item

Set of 2 very cool heavy brass (?) antique mortar and pestles. Actually one may be brass and one copper, judging from the green aging tinge inside. They are not a matched set but very similar in size and shape, both with handles. Lovely as decor. Probably originally used by a pharmacist or in a laboratory. Each measures about 5" high. Very good vintage/antique condition. Scratches, dings and wear to surface, commensurate with age. SOLD AS A SET.
