My father-in-law was a pharmacist and an antique collector. He traveled extensively. This mortar and pestle is in true vintage condition; they have been stored for over 40 years inside our home. Please review photos as they are part of the description.
I have a large amount of mortar & pestles for auction in my eBay store in various shapes, materials and sizes with patina and perhaps slight residue. This may need to be cleaned or wiped down to your satisfaction. Definite vintage (awesome!) condition.
Some surface marks, as shown.
Please keep in mind that this treasure has had a previous life, and may tell its story through minor imperfections. Your purchase makes a lasting impact on our planet!
We ship Monday - Friday and do not typically ship over the weekend.  If you need the item sooner, do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our best to work out a faster shipping date to accommodate you. These items come from a smoke free / pet free home. For the items that are pre-owned, I will do my best to describe the wear. It is likely there is cosmetic wear throughout the item. Or that the item is used, but not abused. There may be a slight color difference in my photos compared to the actual item. Shipping is based on package weight and your zip code.
Thank you for purchasing from our store, HeartsandPrayers!
