Large Antique Brass Mortar & Pestle

A substantial brass mortar and pestle, featuring a deep cylindrical mortar raised on three small feet and accompanied by a long, heavy pestle with turned detailing. The brass has developed an attractive aged patina and surface wear consistent with use, giving the piece strong decorative character.

Originally intended for grinding herbs, spices or medicinal ingredients, it would make a striking addition to a kitchen, apothecary display, restaurant, bar or collection of traditional pharmaceutical objects.
