A solid brass and attractive antique kitchen/apothecary mortar and pestle for grinding of spices, although it may have originally be for medicines to be ground up.
The mortar and pestle are solid brass. There are lines around each that are decorative. Inside the mortar are 2 sets of double lines, one near the top rim and one about 1 1/2" farther down the interior.
On the middle of the mortar is a band of textured design giving this mortar a great look. It also has 2 handles - one on each side.
The Mortar is approx. 3 3/4" high and has an approx. 4" diameter around the top. The pestle is about 5" tall.
Both the mortar and pestle show signs of wear and they have a lovely patina. Of course, you can shine them up if you prefer but I left them as I found them.
They both are solid brass and are in great antique condition.
