Vintage Heavy-Duty Bronze Mortar and Pestle

Mortars and pestles like this have a rich history in apothecaries and pharmacies throughout the 1700s and 1800s and were used to grind and mix ingredients and pharmaceuticals. This vintage (an quite possibly antique) mortar and pestle tests as bronze and its weighted as bronze. It's very heavy and has so much excellent character. Both the mortar and pestle show signs of use, age, wear and resulting patina. The patina could be easily removed if you so choose once received, but we love the personality and character it brings to this piece. They are perfectly functional if you are in need a heavy-duty mortar and pestle set for your home or craft and a beautiful way to add vintage character and texture into your space. Bronze is a timeless material with a regal presence, and this would be a perfect addition for any vintage and antique inspired space.
