Description

This large mortar and pestle pair is crafted from brass. The mortar features a bell-shaped body with a series of encompassing horizontal moulded bands and twin square-profile handles, while the double-ended pestle is centred with an embossed ring. Such brass mortar and pestle sets have been used in Europe for centuries in the home and in apothecaries to produce food and medicines and other remedies. The pair is entirely functional but would also serve as an elegant decorative accent in a kitchen or pantry.
