DESCRIPTION

This mortar is particularly large with a superb color and patination.  The matching pestle of exceptional size is unmarked but is a perfect complement to the mortar.  It is very rare to find marks on wooden mortars so the name “F West” could denote a maker but equally could be an owner's stamp.

Both pieces English c. 1690
