DESCRIPTIONThis mortar is particularly large with a superb color and patination. The matching pestle of exceptional size is unmarked but is a perfect complement to the mortar. It is very rare to find marks on wooden mortars so the name “F West” could denote a maker but equally could be an owner's stamp. Both pieces English c. 1690
