G693 19th century original green painted Mortar and Pestle.  Each part is turned from one solid piece of wood. Both the pestle, and the interior of the mortar, retain wonderful natural patina. There are several surface cracks to the bottom, that do not reach the bowl – and one tight hairline crack at top of rim, along with a nick in the wood along the interior of the rim as seen in photos – neither of which detract from the visual appeal of this piece. Very sturdy with good weight. The Mortar measures 8” tall x 5 ¼” diameter with a 2 7/8” wide band around the bottom before the sides curve around the bowl. Pestle measures 10” long x ~2 ½” diameter at bottom and shows wear indicative of years of use
