About the Item

18th Century Pink-Lilac Veined Marble Mortar A substantial and beautifully sculpted marble mortar dating to the 18th century. Carved from a single block of richly colored marble, the surface displays striking pink-lilac tones blended with soft cream and grey veining, creating a uniquely elegant and organic palette. The robust cylindrical form is punctuated by four evenly spaced projecting lug handles that provide a practical grip and reinforce the mortar’s functional, time-worn character. A carefully shaped pouring spout at the rim adds both utility and visual interest. The interior well retains signs of historical use, attesting to its original role in apothecary or kitchen settings for grinding herbs, spices, or pigments. Today, its harmonious coloration and sculptural silhouette make it an exceptional decorative accent as well as a collectible antique. Dimensions: Height: 20.5 cm (8 1/8 in.) Diameter: 32 cm (12 5/8 in.) This impressive marble mortar combines enduring craftsmanship with the rare beauty of pink-lilac stone, offering both functional heritage and refined decorative appeal.
