Up for sale is a very large rare antique 18th century handmade mortar and pestle. It carved and turned by hand out of a very dense, heavy piece of wood that has acquired a lovely patina from age. The pestle is nicely carved and features a hand wrought iron band of the end which was probably a period repair from use.
It has normal ware with a crack on the pestle that hasn't compromised its integrity and some edge chips on the mortar. The mortar measures 7 1/2 inches wide by 6 3/4 inches tall. The pestle measures 10 1/2 inches long by 2 3/4 inches wide.
