This uncommon antique cast iron apothecary or pharmacy mortar and pestle with a heat base is a unique and functional piece from the mid to late 1800’s. From a Pennsylvania estate of a collector who sought early pharmaceutical items. This item would have been used in the preparation of medicinal remedies in traditional apothecaries. With its unique base designed to fit into the opening of a wood burning stovetop, heat would be used to prepare certain medicines that were to be liquified. Made of durable cast iron, it is sturdy enough to crush herbs and spices for various purposes. The heat base allows for the concoction of recipes that require heating of ingredients. This rare find is a must-have for collectors of vintage science and medical artifacts, adding a touch of history to any collection. Fair offers always welcome.
