About the Item

Authentic antique mortar carved from natural stone, with a rounded body but a gently contoured square edge. This piece displays a deep central cavity, signs of use, and an aged patina that give it character, texture, and sculptural presence. Probably used in traditional cooking or artisanal grinding, today it is ideal as a decorative object, an accent bowl, or a base for floral or sculptural arrangements in rustic, wabi-sabi, or historically inspired interiors.
