Extra Large Antique Pestle and Mortar (32cm Diameter)
£129.00
Almost certainly used originally as an apothecary pestle and mortar, this is by far the biggest example I’ve ever come across!
The 32cm diameter and 17cm height make this a real , can’t miss, kitchen centre piece, with a remarkable 36cm long pestle!
The rarity and size of this grinding instrument is the reason that someone has taken the time to fix the mortar after it has clearly been dropped and smashed at some point. The the repair has been done well, without trying to hide it’s past. Adding to the character and story of this beautiful antique. The very heavy ceramic mortar is matched perfectly with the original beech handled pestle.
