Very Large Victorian Ceramic Pestle & Mortar c.1900
This stunning antique mortar and pestle is a scarce English classic! Top quality, made from ceramic and beech, it would have been used as an apothecary or cookery aid, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900.
We adore its large proportions and gently aged patina, showing its history through use. Natural and tactile in its finish, the quality turned beech handle feels lovely when held and both the pestle and mortar bowl are of substantial weight.
Both have a delightfully clean appearance, great size and we feel it is as useful today as it was over 100 years ago, making for a fine display in a farmhouse kitchen.

Buyers Guide:
It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their age and history are naturally to be expected. We always try, to the best of our ability to honestly and clearly communicate an items condition, both in our description and photography, highlighting anything over and above what we perceive as ‘general age related wear and tear’.
We kindly ask you look closely at all our photos, as these naturally form part of the item's description. Please be aware that your monitor, tablet, or mobile device may emulate colours/tones differently 'on screen' to that of the actual physical item, all of which are photographed and shown to the best of our abilities. Any item/prop shown in our photography is used for styling purposes only. Prior to purchasing, if you would like further clarification on any item, then we are always happy to help in any way possible.
