    Description

    Early English 19th century solid bell metal brass apothecary mortar and pestle c1820.
    Early English 19th century solid bell metal brass apothecary mortar and pestle c1820. This solid brass mortar rings like a church bell. Made by hand turning on a metal lathe. There are numerous later examples of this type of mortar and pestle, but none have the ring tone of this one. The piece has a lovely rich old patina. Original and in very good condition. Some very minor use marks here and there. The mortar measures 6" tall and 6 1/2" in diameter at its top and 4.25 at its bottom. The matching pestle measures 11.5" in length.

    Hello
    , I would be happy to arrange shipping for you
    .
    I put local pick up in the items description because Ebay always seems to put to low a price for shipping valuable or fragile items that have to be shipped and properly insured, like this item. We use several different movers that only ship antiques, UPS and the USPO for smaller items, whatever they charge is what you would pay. But yes, I would be happy to take care of that after I get their shipping quote.
    Yours truly, Thomas Perry
