Antique Heavy Solid Brass Mortar And Pestle Large Pharmacy Apothecary Bowl Set. The mortar is NUMBERED on the bottom and has a cylindrical shape with a flared mouth and two angular handles at the sides. The baton-shaped pestle has knobs at both ends at, one side to effectively crush and/or grind substances and smaller size end on the opposite side. Both the mortar and pestle have been finished with decorative elements consisting of thin bands while the pestle also has a turned knob at the center.
In AWESOME Condition
VERY HEAVY
This is very heavy and they weigh just over 5 lbs.
Beautiful condition and uniform clean patina. Both the mortar and pestle have patina, surface wear and scratches consistent with age. Some residue on inside of mortar- I did not attempt cleaning it because I didn't want to damage the mortar's surface.
With all of the new inventions created yearly to make our lives easier in the kitchen, you will not have thought that the lowly mortar and pestle is still a popular tool used by people in the kitchen. The thing here is that even if we now have food processors and blenders which make our lives easier, it is still difficult to abandon using mortar and pestle in the kitchen. The reason why the lowly mortar and pestle are still used vastly in today’s kitchen is that it has an impact on the taste of the food the fact that it can pounce better than any food processor that exist in the market. Moreover, it does not only mash food stuffs, but it can also pulverize, crush and mix ingredients together. Now why would you spend a lot of money on food processors if the mortar and pestle can do all these things for you?
This antique mortar and pestle set is a must-have for any collector of pharmacy and apothecary items. The heavy solid brass construction ensures durability and longevity, while the intricate details add a touch of elegance to any display. The maker is unknown, adding to the mystery and allure of this piece. The set includes a large bowl, perfect for mixing ingredients, and a matching mortar and pestle, ideal for grinding herbs and spices. The time period of manufacture is pre-1930, making it a rare find for anyone interested in vintage pharmaceutical equipment. This set would make a great addition to any antique collection or as a functional piece for any home apothecary.
