IRON APOTHECARY MORTAR. 18TH-19TH CENTURIES.

Iron pharmacy mortar. 18th-19th centuries. Old mortar for pharmaceutical use, made of cast iron. It follows the usual structure for this type of utensil between the 15th and 19th centuries, with a truncated conical body with very thick walls that has vertical ribs and perpendicular protruding handles to facilitate grip during use. In this case it shows eight multi-lobed ribs and two large handles with finials in the shape of a child's head, which indicates that it would be a piece from the Baroque or later period, probably from the 18th or 19th centuries.
