Description from the seller
Set of 3 Classic Brass Mortars and Pestles – European Apothecary Style – Vintage & 18th-Century Style
A distinctive collection of three characterful brass mortars, bringing together historical elegance and centuries-old European craftsmanship.
This decorative collection consists of three classic brass mortars with matching pestles. Two pieces have elegant knob-shaped handles and a warm, golden hue.
