AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 2 replica mortars with pestles – model 1825 – bronze-colored metal – Western Europe – ca. 1960–1980
Description
Decorative lot consisting of two cast replica mortars with corresponding pestles, manufactured according to historical European mortar models.
The main object is the largest mortar, recognizable by the prominently relief-embossed year "1825". It has a robust cylindrical shape, a broadly flared upper rim, multiple profiled bands, and two rectangular handles.
The year 1825 refers explicitly to the model/decor and not to the actual year of production. The mortar is a later 20th-century reproduction based on a historical example.
The second, smaller mortar has a more pronounced decorative execution. The wall features several horizontal bands with stylized relief ornamentation and curved handles on both sides. This specimen is also a replica of an older mortar model.
Both pieces are complete with their own pestle. The difference in size and decoration makes the two mortars appealing for a joint display.
