Vintage English Acid-Proof #1 Ceramic Apothacary Mortar and Pestle Set
Couldn't load pickup availability
A charming vintage English ceramic mortar and pestle set, marked as Acid-Proof #1 and stamped 'Made in England' on the base. This classic apothecary tool features a hand-thrown stoneware bowl with a pleasantly rustic finish and a wooden pestle with a turned handle and ceramic head, held together with a metal band.
The set shows lovely patina consistent with age and use, with visible dust and wear marks on the cream-colored ceramic. The robust construction and acid-proof designation suggest this was a professional or serious amateur's tool, likely used for grinding herbs, spices, or pharmaceutical compounds. The craftsmanship is evident in the well-proportioned bowl and balanced pestle.
Perfect for collectors of vintage kitchenalia, apothecary items, or English ceramics, this functional piece would display beautifully on a shelf or find new purpose in a working kitchen or home apothecary.
