Antique Hand-Crafted Solid Bronze Mortar with Pestle and Great Original Patina

About the Item

Decorative and tactile, late 18th century mortar set. Mortars have been used for centuries by private people and by people in certain trades. In the kitchens of the 'well-to-do' they were predominantly used for 'grinding' spices and making new flavours. But by doctors and pharmacists they were used for mixing ingredients for making drugs/medicines. This early and beautiful looking example with its great patina is decorated with engraved rings and it has knobs on either side for easy handling. Nowadays this heavy mortar with pestle is still a great gift for a cook or a physician, but it can also be displayed for the decorative, interesting and stylish antique that it is. Mind you, worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is complimentary. Maximum height x diameter: 5.25 x 6 inches. Pestle length: 9.5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). Would you like to see all our 600+ listings on 1stdibs?
