Early 19th-Century Black Marble Apothecary Mortar - 9¾"

This antique apothecary mortar from the early 19th century is crafted from a striking black marble, rich with character and natural elegance. It showcases a robust and functional design with four lobes, one elegantly shaped as a pouring spout, allowing for easy pouring of mixtures—an essential feature for an apothecary’s precision work.

Originally used in apothecaries for grinding herbs and other medicinal ingredients, it can now be repurposed as a vessel for holding dried herbs, a distinctive centerpiece in a kitchen or study, or even as an elegant catch-all on your entry console for car keys or loose change.
