Description

A substantial vintage brass mortar and pestle with excellent weight and traditional styling, ideal for collectors of old kitchenware or classic metal tools. This solid piece weighs 1350g, with a wide 12cm rim and a sturdy, balanced form. The brass has developed a natural aged patina, giving it the warm, characterful look expected from older working mortars.

The rim shows a slight misshape from age and use, visible in the additional photograph. This doesn’t affect its stability and adds to the authentic, well‑used charm of the piece. The pestle is equally weighty and well‑shaped, making the set suitable for decorative display or light functional use. A handsome, tactile example of traditional brassware with real vintage presence.
