This 17th to early 18th century bell metal mortar and pestle set is a small size primitive kitchen tool. Crafted from bell metal, the set is unsigned and original in its design. The mortar and pestle are ideal for grinding and crushing ingredients for cooking and herbal remedies. The small size, up to 14 inches in largest dimension, indicates that this set is likely suited for smaller quantities of ingredients. An antique piece like this would add a touch of history and authenticity to any collection of primitives.
