Both petite and lovely, this mortar is attractively decorated with more than a dozen scribed indentations around its circumference. The pestle is appealingly shaped, and dents and abrasion at its ends testify to years of service.

English, ca. 1840

Mortar: diameter at rim: 4 ¼”; Height: 3 ½”; Length of pestle: 6 ¼”

$110
