This lovely antique mortar and pestle is part of my mother\'s estate, which I\'m selling. She bought it in Europe in the early \'60s while our family was living in Germany. She bought many antiques as we traveled through Germany, Holland, France, and Spain, but I don\'t know which country in particular she bought this piece. It\'s probably 100 years old – perhaps older – but I\'m not an antique expert so I really don\'t know. This mortar and pestle were probably used in an apothecary for many years before my mom bought it in a European antique shop. It is a lovely, beautiful antique with wonderful patina from years of loving use. The mortar and pestle are pretty heavy, weighing in at 3 1/4 pounds. Mortar bowl is 3\" tall and 4 1/2\" in diameter. The pestle is 8\" long and about 1 3/4\" wide at its widest part.
