A handsomely turned large mortar and pestle with a narrow waist between two broad bands.

Each of the three sections was turned with a slight arc, and there are shaped transitional bands between them.

The colors of the dense wood are rich and satisfying.

A lovely piece.

English, ca. 1790

Height: 7”; Diameter: 6-3/8”
