Paul Wullems

Small Bronze Apothecary Mortar – Spain, 17th–18th Century

A finely cast bronze mortar featuring a flared rim and a cylindrical body decorated with alternating cherub masks and column-like vertical ribs. The surface shows a beautifully matured patina, including traces of green oxidation on the interior, fully consistent with age and long historical use.


• Period: 17th–18th Century
• Origin: Spain
• Material: Solid bronze
• Dimensions: Height 6 cm; Width 11 cm
• Condition: Good antique condition with minor wear, casting irregularities and oxidation due to age — no structural issues.

Provenance: Belgian private collection.

A characterful and authentic example of an early European apothecary mortar, suitable for both collectors of scientific instruments and decorative bronze objects.
