About the Item

Antique Carved Mortar, 18th–19th Century A beautifully timeworn carved mortar, likely 18th or 19th century. The material shows a dense, fine-grained structure with a smooth yet weathered surface, suggesting it may be marble that has aged and patinated over time. The form is classic and functional, with four projecting lugs and a deep, rounded bowl carved from a single block. Its surface shows centuries of use: softened edges, natural pitting, and a warm, earthy tone that gives the piece a wonderfully sculptural presence. A versatile decorative object — ideal as a standalone sculptural element, a vessel for plants or utensils, or as part of a wabi-sabi or rustic interior arrangement.
