Mortar with inscriptions. Bronze. Spain, 1823. Mortar made of bronze with a recessed mouth and a throne-conical body developed without discontinuity and decreasing in diameter to the base; It has two handles or “pieces” towards the smooth decorative moldings at the top. The piece presents, almost on the edge, an inscription (I AM DE D GREGORIO OCANA ANO DE 1823) in capital letters and a date in Romans with spaces between them; and the text (the opposite of the other) “Mazon fecci”; both flanked by a simple molding above and another below. This large mortar is of the type that is usually known as “hospital” because it is usually used for medicines in environments with many patients or in important pharmacies. Typologically, it follows the usual line in these examples of the Spanish school during the 19th century: smooth, with moldings and, as a general rule, without those ribs (or derivatives thereof) that used to appear in the previous ones. Compare, for example, the large pharmacy mortar from the Calella Municipal Museum-Archive (with inscription, ribs and human heads as handles), a large pestle from the Hispanic Pharmacy Museum of the Complutense University of Madrid, etc
