18th Century Heavy Marble Mortar

About the Item

A heavy and nicely textured mortar fashioned from Carrara marble, and originally used as an apothecary's tool, or as a pounding vessel in an 18th century kitchen. Weighty and solid with a pouring spout at one corner, this lovely 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.
