About the Item

An 18th century mortar made from hand-carved beautifully veined Carrara marble. Fashioned in the traditional style, with four shaped corners and a deep bowl, this would once have been used as an apothecary's tool or kitchen utensil together with a pestle for grinding. Weighty and solid, this once utilitarian piece of tactile kitchenalia is full of history. Large enough to use as a fruit bowl, it would also make a wonderful decorative feature in its own right.
