~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The bulbous mortar appears to sit on a narrower base, while complex bands of turning define and embellish its pleasing shape.

Excellent color and surface with a well-matched but probably not original pestle.

English, ca. 1830

Height: 7 ½”; Diameter: 6”

Price: $145
