Mortar and pestle (2) - Brass - Mortar in solid brass

Robust and fascinating vintage mortise? No—mortar made of solid brass, complete with its original pestle. The object, weighing almost 2 kg, features clearly visible turning marks and an authentic patina that attest to its age and traditional use.

The design is typical of mid-20th-century Italian production, with a cylindrical body, a flared rim, and a lathe-turned pestle with decorative rings. It is an ideal piece for both collectors of historic tools and as a decorative element for kitchens, herbal shops, rustic or farmhouse settings.
