ANTIQUE Vintage Brass Mortar and Pestle DANISH COLLECTIBLE Early 1900s DENMARK

Description

ANTIQUE COLLECTIBLE DANISH BRASS MORTAR AND PESTLE
THIS MORTAR & PESTLE WAS IMPORTED BY MY DANISH MOTHER
WHO COLLECTED AND SOLD ANTIQUES AND VINTAGE PIECES.
SHE HAD LABELED IT A "DANISH ANTIQUE".
SHE WAS ADAMANT THAT I KNEW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
A TRUE ANTIQUE AND SOMETHING THAT WAS VINTAGE.
AN ANTIQUE MUST BE 100 OR MORE YEARS OLD.
THE DEFINITION OF "VINTAGE" IS 20 YEARS OLD OR MORE.
THIS HEAVY SET IS FROM DENMARK AND HAS A QUALITY
FROM YEARS GONE BY.
IT IS NOT THE LIGHT, INEXPENSIVE BRASS THAT YOU FIND TODAY
FROM COUNTRIES LIKE INDIA, MEXICO AND PAKISTAN.
PLEASE NOTE THE BEAUTIFUL HAMMERED METAL MORTAR, RESULTING
FROM BEING HAND MADE. AND SEE ALL THE LOVELY PATINAS
FROM BEING SO OLD.
THIS PIECE HAS CHARACTER FROM ACTUALLY BEINGS USED!
YOU CAN SEE SPOTS THAT ARE WORN FROM USE, WHICH ONE
WOULD EXPECT IN A PIECE THAT IS 100 OR MORE YEARS OF AGE.
APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS:
THE MORTAR IS 4 INCHES TALL
THE LOVELY FLARED LIP OF THE MORTAR IS ABOUT 4.25 INCHES ACROSS
THE PESTLE IS 7 INCHES LONG
THIS SET IS HEAVY AND WEIGHS 3 POUNDS 14 OUNCES,
UNPACKED
PLEASE STUDY THE SHIPPING OPTIONS AND NOTE THAT IF YOU LIVE CLOSE
TO ME
, IT MAY ACTUALLY BE LESS EXPENSIVE TO SHIP "PRIORITY MAIL"
VS. PRIORITY FLAT RATE, WHICH IS QUOTED AS THE FIRST OPTION!
THIS FINE COLLECTIBLE WOULD BE GREAT TO GRIND YOUR PILLS,
CRUSH YOUR SPICES, OR TO SHOW OFF IN YOUR COLLECTION!
