This robust 17th‑century cast-iron mortar originates from Scandinavia, where utilitarian craftsmanship met enduring design. Its flared rim, single lug, and oxidised finish speak to centuries of use in kitchens and apothecaries alike.
Standing as both a practical tool and a sculptural relic, the mortar embodies the rustic ingenuity of Northern Europe. Collectors of kitchenalia and decorative metalware will appreciate its provenance and patina — a tangible link to Scandinavian domestic life in the early modern period.
Provenance: 17th century. Sweden.
Condition: Please refer to the images. There is surface wear commensurate with age.
Size: Height 15 cm (6")
